10 Exciting Theories And Rumours About Doctor Who Season 14

7. A New Companion

Sex Education Lily
Netflix

Recently an open casting call for a BBC drama filming May-June 2022 leaked for a character named Lily. With fans speculating that Doctor Who might be filming around that time, it caught eyes. The casting call is looking for a "transfemme" and mixed race performer who is 17/18 but can play 15.

That could be awfully young for a Doctor Who companion, but fan speculation is convinced that Lily could be a part of the new series - maybe even a relative or close connection to the main companion. RTD is known for using his platform to amplify LGBTQ+ voices and tell beautifully human stories including marginalised communities.

While it might be unlikely for "Lily" to travel in the TARDIS (at least full time) all eyes have been on Tanya Reynolds who plays Lily Iglehart in Sex Education.

There are, however, many people who could appear as the Doctor's new companion. Including rumours that we might see old faces and fan's desperate for Catherine Tate to return as Donna Noble, which can't happen...or can it?
