Tickets and a list of participating locations will be available beginning Friday, December 6 at the Fathom Events website.
Said BBC AMERICA Executive Director Courtney Thomasma, "What better way to ring in a new decade than with our favorite Time Lord? BBC AMERICA is excited to kick off the New Year with New Who, including a thrilling New Year's Day premiere followed by new episodes every Sunday this winter. Last year, thousands of Whovians packed Madison Square Garden to celebrate Jodie Whittaker's landmark debut as the first female Doctor. This year, we're thrilled to partner with Fathom Events to bring that unique experience to fans all across the country, as Doctor Who embodies the idea of space for all. Let the New Year's countdown begin!"
Previously announced guest stars for the thrilling new season of Doctor Who include British institution Stephen Fry (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, A Bit of Fry and Laurie), Sir Lenny Henry CBE (Broadchurch, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), Goran Vi�njic (ER, Timeless) and Robert Glenister (Paranoid, Law and Order: UK).
Fans will be able to enjoy Doctor Who for a week straight leading into premiere night, with a takeover event on BBC AMERICA of full seasons and specials with all the modern Doctors - Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi and Jodie Whittaker - from Tuesday, December 24 through Wednesday, January 1. In addition, the network will also debut animated "lost episodes," titled "The Macra Terror," as a special post-holiday treat on Thursday, December 26th at 9pm ET/PT.
Doctor Who is executive produced by showrunner Chris Chibnall and Matt Strevens. The series is a BBC AMERICA co-production with BBC Studios.
