Matt Lucas joins 'Doctor Who' for Season 10
Following his appearance as Nardole in the 2015 Christmas special, Matt Lucas will rejoin Doctor Who for its tenth season.
Lucas joins Pearl Mackie, the companion, and the Doctor himself, played by Peter Capaldi. It will be Mackie's first major television role.
“Delighted and slightly amazed to be welcoming Matt Lucas back on to the Tardis — and this time it’s not just for Christmas, he’s sticking around," writer and executive producer Steven Moffat said in a statement. "One of the greatest comedy talents on Planet Earth is being unleashed on all of time and space."
Additionally, Stephanie Hyam will play a guest role in the season. Nardole himself is described by the BBC as a serial maker of mistakes. The series will return with a Christmas special in December before the new season the following year.
