Jodie recently confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that she’ll be staying with the show for at least one more season.

We now have our first complete look at Jodie Whittaker as Doctor Who!

The actress, who is taking on the role as the first female to ever portray the Doctor, debuted the footage at the panel for the BBC show during 2018 Comic-Con on Thursday (July 19) in San Diego, Calif.

By her side were her two co-stars, Mandip Gill and Tosin Cole, among others.

Season eleven will debut in the fall on BBC America. No date has been revealed just yet, but stay tuned!

Watch the trailer below…

Jodie Whittaker made her debut as the next doctor on tonight’s Doctor Who Christmas Special, which also saw the departure of Peter Capaldi.

Before transforming into the first female doctor of the franchise, Peter‘s Twelfth Doctor walks around the TARDIS and says, “Well, I suppose one more lifetime won’t kill anyone… well, except me.”

Right when Jodie appears on screen, a crisis occurs and something major happens… which won’t be continued until the start of the next season.

Watch the video below and tune in for Twice Upon a Time at 9/8c on BBC America.

Peter Capaldi appears on stage with Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat at the BBC America panel during 2017 Comic-Con on Sunday afternoon (July 23) in San Diego, Calif.

The guys were joined at the panel by Peter‘s co-stars Pearl Mackie and Matt Lucas.

Steven responded to the backlash surrounding the casting of a woman, actress Jodie Whittaker, to be the next doctor.

“So many people wanted to pretend there’s a problem. There isn’t,” he said (via Variety). “[Fans] are more excited by the fact that there’s going to be a brilliant actress playing the part than the fact that she’s a woman. It’s been incredibly progressive and enlightened and that’s what really happened. I wish every single journalist who is writing the alternative would shut the hell up.”
