WonderCon presents the world's first look at the new season of BBC AMERICA's hit series Doctor Who, with guest writer Neil Gaiman (Coraline, The Sandman), actor Mark Sheppard (Supernatural, Battlestar Galactica) and director Toby Haynes (Doctor Who, Being Human), live on stage for a discussion and Q&A, lead by Chris Hardwick (Nerdist). Doctor Who is coming to America in a spectacular two-part season premiere on BBC AMERICA. Part one, "The Impossible Astronaut," premieres Saturday, April 23 at 9/8c. The mysterious time traveler, the Doctor (Matt Smith), and his companions Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill), find themselves on a secret summons that takes them on an adventure from the desert in Utah -- right to the Oval Office in 1969. The two-parter is penned by lead writer and executive producer Steven Moffat (Sherlock, Jekyll), with Mark Sheppard as guest star. The new season features an episode written by Neil Gaiman and Alex Kingston (ER, Flash Forward) returns as the irrepressible River Song. Last year, Doctor Who delivered record ratings for BBC AMERICA and was the #3 top selling TV series on the iTunes Store in the U.S.
