Though we didn't get a clear confirmation in the trailer, there have been several leaks pointing to the return of UNIT in Series 13.

Of course, the legendary Whoniverse organisation was closed down just so Chibnall could make a lame joke about Brexit, but hopefully this was a temporary closure, and he's always intended to bring UNIT back.

On that note, the above character (played by actor Robert Bathurst) looks like he could be sporting some sort of UNIT costume. At the very least, his clothing certainly resembles the Brigadier's classic UNIT garb.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for almost nine years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
