We have known for a little while that some classic Doctor Who<\/a> villains would be making a comeback for its upcoming series 13, including the terrifying Weeping Angels.<\/p>\n But now, Doctor Who executive producer Matt Strevens has revealed a little more about what we can expect from the stone-faced aliens.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s quite an interesting development to their story if you like,\u201d Strevens teased in an interview shared by the BBC. \u201c[They] have a very sinister role to play, and a very different role to play.\u201d<\/p>\n The Weeping Angels first startled fans in Doctor Who\u2019s Blink episode from 2007, before popping up numerous times in the Matt Smith era. They have remained a fan-favourite Whovian monster ever since, despite only popping up in the main Doctor Who story for a couple of cameos.<\/p> Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall added that he wanted Thirteen to \u201ccome up against [the Weeping Angels]\u201d and had been thinking about a story that included them \u201cfor a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey are genuinely scary and a brilliant creation by Steven Moffatt and they haven\u2019t been in a main Doctor Who story for nine years so they were due to come back as well,\u201d he explained. \u201cThere\u2019s lots of ideas you can explore around Weeping Angels so we\u2019ve had a lot of fun with them.\u201d<\/p>\n The recently released trailer for Doctor Who series 13 \u2013 which is set to arrive on 31st October, with a series premiere episode aptly titled The Halloween Apocalypse<\/a> \u2013 also confirmed the return of the Ood and the Cybermen.<\/p>\n But Jodie Whittaker\u2019s Doctor will not only be facing old foes \u2013 there are some intriguing new baddies in town, too. The Flux, for one, is so mighty that it earned a spot as the series\u2019 title<\/a>, even if we\u2019re still not quite sure what it is, exactly.<\/p>\n Doctor Who returns to BBC One on Sunday 31st October.
