Peter Capaldi will be making an appearance this October to kick off the new Doctor Who spinoff Class. Premiering next month on the BBC in the UK, Class will revolve around four teenagers that go to Coal Hill Academy. Those four teenagers are Sophie Hopkins, Greg Austin, Fady Elsayed, and Vivian Oparah who will be playing April, Charlie, Ram, and Tanya, respectively. The show is the brain child of Patrick Ness, which ComingSoon.net reports that Ness, "has aimed to create intriguing and complex characters that have to navigate their way through more than just teenage hormones, exams and detention.” Ness himself reveals:
“Though there are still many, many secrets to come. Many. Like, a lot. But of COURSE, the Doctor is in episode one! That’s how these things are done. Truly, though, I can’t wait for everyone to see the show; we’ve worked so hard and I’m so proud of it. Soon, soon…”
Capaldi's appearance on the show takes place while the students are getting ready for their Autumn Prom, and leaves them having to handle an alien attack on their school. Bustle says this about the show:
Class will “allow fans to see the world through the eyes of teenagers who will be forced to see beyond their own troubles when all of the crazy alien, time travel business comes flooding into their lives.”
Classs season one will only be comprised of eight episodes, but will sure to increase if it gets picked up for a second season. More details to come as I find them out.
