This September marks the return of the Doctor with the release of the new box set, Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures.

      Big Finish has revealed that the Thirteenth Doctor will return this September in a new full-cast audio adventure titled Doctor Who: The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures – The Return of the Doctor. This will be the second installment in a fresh audio series featuring Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill, following the recently released Vampire Weekend, where the Thirteenth Doctor will embark on more thrilling journeys.

      The Return of the Doctor, written by Rory Thomas-Howes, follows the Doctor and Yasmin Khan after their latest mission to save the peaceful Zaarians from an extraterrestrial threat. As they venture into the cosmos once more, Yaz starts to wonder whether they are pursuing adventure or merely fleeing from something.

      Convinced by Yaz to return and check on their new allies, the hesitant Doctor goes back to the planet, only to discover it in turmoil. The once-vibrant city is now in ruins, the Zaarians are disordered, and something profoundly troubling lurks beneath the surface. As Yaz begins to hear strange whispers in her mind, the mystery intensifies: What went awry? And could the Doctor be at fault?

      This upcoming addition to The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures marks the Big Finish debut for writer Rory Thomas-Howes, who described the experience as “a dream come true.” The audio drama features Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill along with guest appearances by Belinda Stewart-Wilson (The Inbetweeners), Charlie Kelly (The Terror), Will Kirk (The Gathering), and Stephan Bessant (Peaky Blinders).

      The Return of the Doctor promises unexpected twists, emotional stakes, and a mystery linked to the Doctor's past. It is available for pre-order at £9.99 for the digital download or £11.99 for the limited collector’s edition and download.
