Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi has hinted that the new season will feature “a lot of excitement and drama.”

Season 10 is expected to begin filming in Cardiff next month.

Capaldi, who’ll be returning as the Twelfth Doctor, recently gave RT some hints about to expect from Steven Moffat’s final season as showrunner: “I love seeing the Doctor being really confronted with the most cosmic of challenges. I love him really battling it out to save the universe from some awful threat which is cosmic. And I think we’ve got quite a lot of that coming up, so I’m looking forward to taking the Doctor to the forefront of the cosmic battlefield.”

He added: “I think it’s a very action-packed season. It’s a lot of space exploration, and a lot of excitement and drama.”

Following the dramatic exit of Jenna Coleman as companion Clara in Season 9, Capaldi also revealed: “It might be a little less emotional, sort of. I think the emotional elements of it will come as a surprise to people.”
