The new companion could be appearing in the TARDIS earlier than first thought. <\/p>
While we eagerly await the beginning of Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson\u2019s first full season on Doctor Who<\/a> this weekend, many fans are already excited about the prospect of Varada Sethu joining the show as a new companion for the following run.<\/p>\n And it looks as if those fans might not need to wait as long as first expected for her arrival in the TARDIS, with a new report suggesting that she could appear in an episode in the imminent season 14<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to The Mirror<\/a>, Sethu will appear \u201cbriefly\u201d during the new run, although the article also states that it isn\u2019t clear whether this would see her portraying her new companion or a separate character.<\/p>\n No other details on the nature of her rumoured appearance have been provided, and the BBC declined to comment on the story when approached by RadioTimes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Following weeks of speculation after she was\u00a0pictured filming<\/a> scenes for season 15, Sethu was confirmed as a new companion<\/a> last month, alongside a photo of her and new colleagues Gatwa and Gibson.<\/p>\n Speaking about her casting, she 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
