While Doctor Who<\/a> season 14 is just around the corner, the exciting news of a TARDIS trio has sent Whovians into overdrive, as season 15<\/a> is shaping up to be fit to be bursting with companions!<\/p>\n

It was revealed earlier this month that Varada Sethu<\/a> will officially be joining the series as the Doctor\u2019s second companion in season 15, with the three set to be quite the dream team.<\/p>\n

Well, it turns out that things are simply \u201chot\u201d with another companion in the mix, according to series stars Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson. Chatting to RadioTimes.com<\/a> on the blue carpet for the season 14 premiere, Gatwa said of Sethu\u2019s addition: \u201cWe\u2019re all really hot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gibson added: \u201cIt\u2019s a really hot TARDIS.\u201d<\/p>\n

While the pair\u2019s hilarious anecdotes are yet to be decoded, Gatwa went on and said: \u201cNo, it\u2019s fun, it\u2019s been such an amazing energy, dynamic into the TARDIS, and there\u2019s three of us now, so you\u2019re safe everyone! Safe at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 15th season may be a little way off for now, but at least we\u2019re in good hands with Gatwa\u2019s Doctor, Gibson\u2019s Ruby Sunday and Sethu\u2019s new companion, who had previously been pictured on set filming<\/a> with Gatwa before the official casting announcement was made.<\/p>\n

While we\u2019re yet to get any additional information about Sethu\u2019s character, it will undoubtedly be an exciting step in a new direction for the sci-fi series.<\/p>\n

Sethu is known for her roles in crime drama Hard Sun, as well as Strike Back: Revolution, Andor<\/a> and Annika<\/a>.<\/p>

Speaking on the announcement of her inclusion in season 15, Sethu said: \u201cI feel like the luckiest person in the world. It is such an honour to be a part of the Whoniverse, and I\u2019m so grateful to the whole Doctor Who family \u2013 because that is what they are \u2013 for welcoming me with open arms and making me feel so at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t ask for a better team than Ncuti and Millie to be on this adventure with, this is SO much fun!\u201d<\/p>\n
