Could this be Ruby Sunday’s love interest?
Jonah Hauer-King has been spotted on the set of Doctor Who season 15, reportedly filming scenes with incoming co-star Millie Gibson.
The actor gained international recognition earlier this year for his starring role as Prince Eric in Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, which grossed just shy of $570 million at the box office.
Prior to landing that major gig, he had taken roles in BBC war drama World on Fire and Paramount Plus romcom The Flatshare – and now appears to be adding Doctor Who to that impressive CV.
The actor was said to have been seen on the set of the long-running sci-fi drama, which recently started filming season 15, with fans speculating he could be a love interest for Gibson’s Ruby Sunday – linked to one telling moment which sees them lean in for a kiss.

Doctor Who season 15 isn’t expected to premiere until early 2025, so it could be some time before we know exactly who Hauer-King’s potential mystery character is – but no doubt fan theories will continue to emerge in the meantime.
A slew of names have been announced for the long-running series in recent days, with Derry Girls and Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan confirmed for the 2024 Christmas special, while Juice‘s Mawaan Rizwan will appear in a Children in Need scene.
Earlier announcements revealed that Jonathan Groff (Mindhunter) and Indira Varma (Obi-Wan Kenobi) would appear in future episodes, while Bonnie Langford and Jemma Redgrave are among the returning cast.
