Perfectly timed to coincide with BBC America’s announcement that the much anticipated seventh season of DOCTOR WHO returns with five blockbuster episodes starting September 1st comes this just released trailer asking audiences one very pressing question: Are you ready for a new season that changes everything? If so, by all means feel free to continue reading this spoilerific post that includes a statement from lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat and a synopses of the season’s first three episodes.
Steven Moffat on the new season:
“We have, I think, our biggest range of stories EVER. We’ve got the return of the Daleks AND the Weeping Angels – both of them poll-topping DOCTOR WHO adversaries – in cracking new stories, we’ve got Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (it’s what you’ve always wanted), we’ve got a glorious western with a Cyborg Gunslinger, the most unusual invasion Earth story EVER, and location shooting in New York for the Pond finale.”
In the season opener, Asylum of the Daleks, the Doctor is forced on an impossible mission after being kidnapped by his oldest foe – to a place even the Daleks are too terrified to enter…. the Asylum. A planetary prison confining the most terrifying and insane of their kind, the Doctor and the Ponds must find an escape route. But with Amy and Rory’s relationship in meltdown, and an army of mad Daleks closing in, it is up to the Doctor to save their lives, as well as the Pond’s marriage.
