A Slow Horses regular will make the leap from London to the Whoniverse, as Doctor Who casts the actor in one of season 15’s darkest and most difficult stories. Ncuti Gatwa is set to return as the Fifteenth Doctor in the upcoming season of the beloved sci-fi series alongside Millie Gibson’s companion Ruby Sunday. Doctor Who season 15 will also see the return of guest star Varada Sethu, who will play new companion Belinda Chandra.
Slow Horses regular Christopher Chung has been confirmed to join Doctor Who season 15 in an announcement by BBC. Showrunner Russell T Davies celebrated Chung’s work, teasing his role of Cassio in the season’s “toughest” episode.
I’m a huge fan of Slow Horses, and I was so excited to get Chris involved. He brings all of his strength and style and talent to one of the darkest, toughest episodes we’ve ever made. As for whether Cassio is an ally or an enemy of the Doctor, you’ll have to wait and see, but I can promise, it’s one hell of a meeting!”
Chung also shared his own excitement about his role in a statement.
I’m absolutely thrilled to step into the Whoniverse as Cassio for Season 2! This show is legendary, and getting to be part of this new era feels surreal. Working with Russell and Ncuti has been a dream! This episode is huge – packed with everything Who fans love: heart, adventure, and a touch of madness. I can’t wait for everyone to see what’s in store – it’s going to be iconic. Get ready!
