As excitement for Doctor Who\u2019s<\/a> next season ramps up, there are already plenty of theories about what to expect \u2013 including some about new characters who are set to encounter the Doctor this year and beyond.<\/p>\n

Joining Ncuti Gatwa<\/a> (Fifteenth Doctor) and Millie Gibson<\/a> (Ruby Sunday) on the cast for future seasons will be Jonah Hauer-King<\/a>, whose character is still unknown.<\/p>\n

However, photos from set have given us some clues about what his character will involve, including that he\u2019ll be working closely with Gibson.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything we know so far!<\/p>\n

Who could Jonah Hauer-King\u2019s character be in Doctor Who?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Photos from the set of Doctor Who suggest that Hauer-King is playing Ruby\u2019s boyfriend. The pair have been spotted filming scenes together \u2013 but plenty of details about his character are still under wraps.<\/p>\n

Photos from set also showed that Hauer-King will appear alongside a pretty gruesome monster, with some fan theories suggesting that he could be a villain himself. Could he be working with the monster? Could Ruby have some heartbreak ahead of her? It remains to be seen but we certainly wouldn\u2019t put it past showrunner Russell T Davies!<\/p>\n

There are other mysteries that haven\u2019t been solved, and Hauer-King\u2019s character could potentially have a role in those. We\u2019re still waiting to find out who Mrs Flood<\/a> is and why she knows what a TARDIS is \u2013 maybe he\u2019ll play a part in her storyline?<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget, we also still don\u2019t know who the Meep\u2019s boss is<\/a>, or who The One Who Waits<\/a> could be \u2013 could either of those refer to Hauer-King\u2019s character?<\/p>\n

Either way, it won\u2019t be the first time a companion\u2019s<\/a> partner has appeared in the show. In season 1 of New Who, Noel Clarke played Rose Tyler\u2019s boyfriend Mickey, and became a recurring character in the show.<\/p>

Even more prominent was Arthur Darvill\u2019s Rory<\/a>, Amy Pond\u2019s husband who became a companion in his own right alongside Matt Smith\u2019s Eleventh Doctor.<\/p>\n

On occasion, partners of companions have also turned out to have ulterior motives \u2013 lest we forget Lance (played by Don Gilet), Donna\u2019s boyfriend who had been working with the Empress of the Racnoss in season 4?<\/p>\n

So, while details about Hauer-King\u2019s role are still yet to be confirmed, his story could go many different ways!<\/p>\n

Who is Jonah Hauer-King?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Actor Jonah Hauer-King will be recognisable to fans for his work across TV and film, most notably, his role as Prince Eric in the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid.<\/p>\n

In 2022, he starred in the series The Flatshare and he has led the cast of World on Fire across its two seasons.<\/p>\n

In the 2017 series, Howard\u2019s End, Hauer-King played Paul Wilcox, and he played Laurie in the 2017 TV adaptation of Little Women.<\/p>\n

Hauer-King has plenty of upcoming projects (including Doctor Who) on the horizon, but he\u2019s also been cast in the TV adaptation of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, based on the novel by Heather Morris.<\/span><\/p>\n
