Things are moving fast over in the world of Doctor Whoall reporting from the Daily Mirror and credited to unnamed sources, it also sounds like Sethu will be coming in, not in addition to Millie Gibson, who debuted as the Doctor’s latest companion less than a month ago, but as her replacement, as soon as the show’s yet-to-be-released latest season has aired.

The reports strongly suggest that Gibson’s tenure on the series will be a one-and-done thing, a fate that’s befallen something like half of the show’s “main” companions throughout the revived series’ run. (For every Billie Piper, who survived Eccleston’s tenure to have a vastly different vibe with David Tennant in the following season, there’s a Freema Agyeman or Pearl Mackie, out after a single year—and while we’re being pedantic, you can also toss Catherine Tate into that one-run pile, although she got a sort of second-chance stint with Tennant in late 2023.) It’s somewhat surprising, given that Gibson got such an enthusiastic launch into the series with its recent Christmas special, but such is life in Doctor Who—the franchise where no actor is ever truly safe.
Although she had a small part in the latest Jurassic World movie, Dominion, Sethu will likely be best known to American audiences for her role in recent Star Wars series Andor; she played Cinta Kaz, the “stone cold and fearless” fighter who’s an integral part of the heist team in the second act of the show’s first season.
