The BBC and Disney+ have announced the release dates for the Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials, Deadline reported.

The first of the specials, The Star Beast, will premiere on Nov. 25. The second, Wild Blue Yonder, will be released on Dec. 2. The final special episode, The Giggle, will be released on Dec. 9.

David Tennant, previously the 10th Doctor, will reunite with Donna Noble (Catherine Tate) against The Celestial Toymaker (Neil Patrick Harris). The new Doctor Who villain comes from some of the missing episodes where he was the First Doctor's (William Hartnell) adversary.

The specials will premiere on Disney+ for the rest of the world. BBC will air the specials in the UK and Ireland.

The studios also released a new trailer which prominently features Harris' Doctor Who debut. We also see UNIT (Unified Intelligence Taskforce) leader Kate Lethbridge-Stewart played by Jemma Redgrave.

One of the new faces joining the specials is Yasmin Finney who plays Donna's daughter Rose Temple-Noble. Miriam Margoyles will voice Beep the Meep. The Meep appeared in the series comic strip on which the first special, The Star Beast, is based.
