Posted Filed under

In an interview in Radio Times magazine, Doctor Who Showrunner Chris Chibnall hinted at a “different” story he wanted to tell involving the Cybermen in Series 12.

“There are certain monsters you want to see the Doctor go up against. She met a Dalek in ‘Resolution’ last New Year. Cybermen feel like an important part of the rogues’ gallery and we’ve done something slightly different with them this year – there was a particular story I wanted to tell. They’re just relentless, these Cybermen. They just don’t stop!”

There appear to be several types of Cybermen that the thirteenth Doctor faces in Doctor Who Series 12.
