The synopsis for Empire of Death says: “The Doctor has lost, his ageless enemy reigns supreme, and a shadow is falling over creation. Nothing can stop the devastation… except, perhaps, one woman.”

Showrunner Russell T Davies has previously teased that Empire of Death will be the “most devastating finale” in the show’s history, as well as the “biggest finale ever”.

The finale will be followed by a Christmas special later this year, which will be called Joy to the World, guest starring Nicola Coughlan and written by Steven Moffat.

Doctor Who’s season 14 finale, Empire of Death, will air on Saturday 22nd June on BBC iPlayer and BBC One. Previous seasons are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
