Doctor Who Spring Special Easter Release Date Confirmed By BBC
The BBC officially confirms the Doctor Who Spring Special will release on Easter. Jodie Whittaker's tenure as the Thirteenth Doctor is coming to an end, but not through a conventional season of Doctor Who; instead, this year the BBC is releasing three specials, so she can bow out in style. Marketing is finally beginning for the Doctor Who Spring Special, which viewers have long assumed would air over Easter weekend.
«Legend of the Sea Devils» will bring back a monster from the original series, the Sea Devils — an evolutionary offshoot of a reptilian race who ruled the Earth in prehistoric times. According to an official synopsis, the Doctor and her friends will travel back to 19th-century China, where a small coastal village is under threat — both from the real-life pirate queen Madame Ching and from the colony of Sea Devils she's unwittingly awoken. So far, marketing has focused on what promises to be a stunning Doctor WHO Sea Devil redesign, but the BBC has been slow to confirm any details — including a release date.

BBC America tends to release episodes on the same date, so viewers can be confident «Legend of the Sea Devils» will be airing internationally on April 17 as well. Exact times have yet to be confirmed, but the Spring Special will surely be a major part of the BBC's Easter programming. This is actually only the second time a Doctor Who special has aired on Easter Sunday, making it quite an unusual slot for the show, so it will be exciting to see how it performs.
