Are you ready for the worlds of Bridgerton and Doctor Who to collide? The trailer for episode 6, "Rogue," reveals that the Fifteenth Doctor ( Ncuti Gatwa ) and his mysterious companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) will touch down for an adventure in Regency-era England, the same time as the popular Netflix romance series. But it's not just this temporal setting that the two English series have in common. "Oh my Bridgerton !" Ruby squeals in the Season 14 trailer .
This exclamation determines that the Shondaland series based on Julia Quinn's romance novels exists in the world occupied by Ruby and her Doctor. But if that 's the case, then how can cast members of Bridgerton be popping up on Doctor Who as other characters? The likes of Jonathan Bailey, Adjoa Andoh, and Claudia Jessie appeared on Doctor Who before Bridgerton got a shout-out on the sci-fi series. Just this season, the glorious Golda Rosheuvel, who plays Queen Charlotte in Bridgerton , joined their ranks, appearing in "Space Babies" as the harried Nan-E.
And Season 3's leading lady Nicola Coughlin has been announced as a special guest for this year's Doctor Who holiday special, meaning another Ton resident will be getting tangled with a Time Lord. Asked for a timey-wimey explanation for such meta crossovers, Season 14 showrunner Russell T Davies told Mashable, "It's an amazing universe where these doppelgangers keep appearing!" Davies noted that the popular British soap opera EastEnders also exists in the Whoniverse,.
