Big Finish have announced Doctor Who: Doom Coalition, a “breathtaking” new audio series featuring the Eighth Doctor, which will be launched in the autumn.

Paul McGann will be back as his incarnation of the iconic Time Lord who will be pushed to his limits when he is recalled to Gallifrey by the Time Lords. The 16 part adventure, spanning 4 boxsets, will also star Nicola Walker as companion Liv Chenka while Mark Bonnar will lend his voice to a mysterious new foe known only as The Eleven. Hattie Morahan will also join in episode two as new companion Helen Sinclair.

“Doom Coalition is unlike anything we’ve attempted before,” said director Ken Bentley. “It’s on a scale that we hope will satisfy loyal listeners. It’s also a new standalone adventure so it’s a great place to start if you’re listening to Doctor Who on audio for the very first time.”

Doom Coalition: Part 1 is released in October 2015 and its three subsequent installments will follow suit throughout 2016 and 2017. It forms part of Big Finish’s extended licensing deal which guarantees the production of their new Doctor Who audios until “at least” 2020.
