Doctor Who Series 9: Every Single Episode Previewed

11. Episode 2 - The Witch's Familiar (Part II)

Written by: Steven Moffat Directed by: Hettie MacDonald Guest starring: Jemma Redgrave, Kelly Hunter, Clare Higgins, Jaye Griffiths, Daniel Hoffmann-Gill, Jami Reid-Quarrell, Aaron Neil, India Ria Amarteifio, Joey Price, Dasharn Anderson, Harki Bhambra and Demi Papaminas Well, you didn't think she was going to stay away for too long now, did you? After ripping the stratosphere of the Doctor Who fandom apart at the end of the last series, Missy will be back with almighty vengeance in Series 9's opening two-parter. Producer Brian Minchin has teased that the renegade Time Lady's latest shenanigans will "surprise everyone", which is both exciting and terrifying in equal measure. What do you do when you've transformed the corpses of planet Earth into an army of your own Cybermen? We're sure she'll be able to think of something. She is bananas, after all. Oh, and this two-parter, which were partially filmed on location in Tenerife, will be the show's "darkest plot ever", according to reports. As a throwback to Tom Baker's 1975 serial Genesis of the Daleks, the Time Lord will face another impossible challenge when (SPOILERS!) he encounters a younger version of Davros and has to decide whether or not to murder him to prevent the creation of the Daleks. Just another day in the office then, really.
