The 2016 Doctor Who Christmas special, The Return Of Doctor Mysterio, is available in the US February 21st with lots of fun bonus material.
We recently reported about the UK release of The Return of Doctor Mysterio, but there’s better news for American fans. On February 21, the 2016 Christmas special is set to release, and it promises to have lots of extra bonus material.
According to the BBC, “Bonus content includes A New Kind of Superhero, in which we ask what it is about the Doctor that makes him so heroic, and a special Christmas Doctor Who Extra, in which stars Peter Capaldi and Matt Lucas, showrunner Steven Moffat, and many more give fans a very special inside look at the making of The Return of Doctor Mysterio.”
For those who need it, the official BBC reads:
"In Doctor Who: The Return of Doctor Mysterio, join the Time Lord, played by Peter Capaldi, as he teams up with an investigative journalist, played by Charity Wakefield (Wolf Hall, The Player), and a superhero to save New York from a deadly alien threat. Written by Steven Moffat, the special stars Justin Chatwin (Orphan Black, Shameless) as Grant, along with Matt Lucas (Alice in Wonderland, Bridesmaids), Adetomiwa Edun (Lucifer, Bates Motel), Aleksandar Jovanovic, and Logan Hoffman. The special will air on BBC AMERICA in the U.S. on Christmas Day at 9/8c, and will hit theaters nationwide on Tuesday, December 27 and Thursday, December 29, 2016 in the U.S., and on Monday, December 26 and Wednesday, December 28, 2016 in Canada. It is executive produced by Steven Moffat and Brian Minchin, produced by Peter Bennett, and directed by Ed Bazalgette (Poldark). It was shot in Cardiff at BBC Wales Roath Lock Studios.
