Doctor Who: Everything We Just Learned At Comic-Con 2021

If the week-to-week ride is actually engaging, prepare to be pulling the above "shocked Yaz face" a lot while watching Series 13.

That's because the majority of episodes will end on some sort of cliffhanger, a major moment that directly tees up the following week's events.

This is a side effect of the show's new serialised format, with Bishop noting that "each episode is ending on a brink point", and Chibnall following up by stating that Series 13 contains some of his favourite Whoniverse cliffhangers ever.

Hitting audiences with cliffhanger after cliffhanger is a risky move - depending on how they're presented and then resolved, the viewing experience has the potential to be really satisfying, or really damn frustrating. Plus, if the episodes are so reliant on these shocking final moments, then the rewatchability of the series could be significantly damaged, which has never been a problem for Doctor Who in the past.
