The BBC has unveiled a first look at the upcoming animated series Doctor Who: TARDIS Crew, according to screenrant.com. The show is an animated preschool series being produced for CBeebies and features a young incarnation of the Doctor.

The series will introduce new companions named Hannah, Beastie, and Toast-IE alongside the young Doctor. Familiar enemies including the Daleks will also return.

Doctor Who: TARDIS Crew will consist of 52 11-minute episodes. It is scheduled to arrive on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer in late 2027 or early 2028.

In June 2026, the BBC announced that Doctor Who would be put out to competitive tender.
