Doctor Who releases first look at “Ascension of the Cybermen”
By Ariba Bhuvad
The Cybermen are here! Good thing humanity has the Doctor and her companions around to save the day…hopefully.
The BBC gave Whovians an early preview of the two-part season 12 finale before it kicks off this Sunday. This first look is full of doom and gloom for the future of mankind as giant planes/ships/machines zoom into the sky through what seems like hyperspace. The clip opens with two characters we haven’t seen before, but something tells me we’ll be well acquainted with them by episode’s end.
Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall has promised that the season 12 finale will be “very, very epic,” and just based on this minute-and-a-half clip, I’m inclined to believe him.
It’s been a very long time since Whovians have been this excited about a Doctor Who season finale. Just ask Twitter:
Of this I have no doubt. I have rarely gone into a season finale of #DoctorWho this worried about the fate of the companions, or indeed the Doctor. I'm hiding behind the couch just thinking about it. Season 12 has really been bringing the goods. https://t.co/CIKGVqSKyx

In my opinion the #DoctorWho series finale is what makes or breaks the series. Series 10 had a stumble with the Monk stuff, but the finale is so good we forgive that. If Ascension/Timeless Children is great Series 12 will be one of the best revival seasons. Unquestionably.

Considering what Season 12 of #DoctorWho has shown us so far, the finale is going to be one hell of a show!

I am in absolute agreement over the hype! Season 12 has been nothing short of amazing, and I’m eager to see how it wraps up. We’ve gotten inspiring stories, incredible dives into history, and a take on the Doctor we haven’t had before. I think David Tennant and Matt Smith will always be two of my favorites, but Jodie Whittaker’s version of the character has officially joined them in my top three.
The season 12 finale has a lot in store for Doctor Who fans, and fingers crossed, we will have all our questions answered about the return of the Cybermen, the lone Cyberman, and the Timeless Children. Here’s hoping the gang saves humanity by kicking some major butt!
Next. Doctor Who showrunner Chris Chibnall will be back for another season. dark
