The Whoniverse is getting a new addition, as Emily in Paris<\/a> star Paul Forman is set to guest star in the upcoming season of Doctor Who<\/a> \u2013 in a face-off against the Doctor!<\/p>\n

In exclusive images from Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, the publication revealed that Forman will be playing a \u201cmysterious Regency-era character named Lord Barton, who has a surface-level charm but carries sinister secrets underneath his smooths words\u201d.<\/p>\n

It was revealed back in 2023<\/a> that Ncuti Gatwa\u2019s Doctor and his companion, Ruby Sunday (played by Millie Gibson), would be joined by Jonathan Groff in a period setting, with Doctor Who releasing first-look images of what fans could expect.<\/p>\n

As for where Forman\u2019s character fits in, viewers will have to wait and see!<\/p>\n

In a statement on his new role, Forman said: \u201cAny new chapter is exciting to be a part of, especially when it\u2019s of a beloved and remarkable universe such as Doctor Who.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo join such an established project and to combine it with this feeling of new and unbounded possibilities was thrilling. It made this role a special experience that I will never forget.\u201d<\/p>

As confirmed by Entertainment Weekly, Lord Barton will appear in the sixth episode, titled Rogue.<\/p>\n

Showrunner Russell T Davies said of Forman\u2019s character: \u201cSomeone like Paul isn\u2019t just a name; he\u2019s a talent. He comes along in episode 6 and it\u2019s a whale of a time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve all seen Emily in Paris, and we\u2019ve seen him being one sort of person. I don\u2019t think anyone\u2019s quite expecting him to become this<\/em> sort of person.\u201d<\/p>\n
