Karen Gillan is Shrinking!

Blogtor Who - Sat, 07/04/2026 - 22:00
Doctor Who’s Karen Gillan is heading to Apple+ to join Harrison Ford and Jason Segel in hit dramedy Shrinking

Doctor Who star Karen Gillan has joined the cast of Shrinking for Season Four next year. The actor, who played companion Amy Pond opposite Matt Smith’s Doctor for three series, is the latest addition to the Apple+ dramedy. The series stars Jason Segel and Harrison Ford as therapists breaching ethical guidelines to help their patients make breakthroughs as they deal with their own life changing problems. Whether Gillan is playing a new therapist at the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Center or a new client is still unknown. However, we do know that Season 4 will take place after a substantial time jump from this year’s season, and feature an entirely new arc plot for the show. Season Three ended with major life changes for many of the characters, so it’s not clear yet how Gillan’s will fit into their new situations.

 

Demonic possessions, immortal swordsmen, royal intrigue and more  video game action also all feature in Gillan’s upcoming projects

Karen Gillan continues to be one of Doctor Who’s most prolific alumna. Shrinking is just one of several projects fans in which fans will be able to see her over the next year or so. Later this year she’ll back in the game as Ruby Roundhouse in Jumanji: Open World. After that, she’ll also be starring in horror movie Blasphemous, described as ‘The Exorcist meets Training Day‘ as a demonically possessed killer battling two priests played by Clive Owen and Josh Hutcherson.

Meanwhile, Gillan has a major supporting role in the new remake of Highlander, also out next year. There she’ll be Heather, first love of Henry Cavill’s Conor Macleod as he’s trained in the ways of the immortals by Russell Crowe’s Rameriez. Finally for now, as Blogtor Who previously reported, the Scottish actor will star as Queen Mary Tudor in Fools, as she and her fool (Patsy Ferran) try to protect themselves from the sinister political forces around them.

Doctor Who: Peter Davison Collection on Vinyl

Blogtor Who - Mon, 06/22/2026 - 20:00
Doctor Who: The Peter Davison Collection brings two classic novelisations to vinyl

Demon Records celebrates Peter Davison’s fresh-faced and energetic incarnation of the famous Time Lord, 45 years after he first appeared on BBC TV screens. It’s the latest in their Vinyl Who collection with two classic Fifth Doctor novelisations across four records. Kinda and Warriors of the Deep are both read by the Doctor himself, Peter Davison. The package also includes archive interviews and radio appearances by the Doctor Who actor on the likes of the Graham Norton Radio Show. There’s also a 12″ photo print and, of course, the four discs themselves on 140g translucent red and purple vinyl.

These two classic Target Books are both adapted by iconic writer Terrance Dicks.

Kinda relates the Doctor’s unnerving encounter with the mind-possessing Mara. Meanwhile, Warriors of the Deep tells of future conflict between humanity and the Earth’s original reptilian masters, the Silurians and Sea Devils. Extra features include Davison’s appearance at Longleat House in 1983, alongside Janet Fielding and John Nathan-Turner. There are also interview extracts from 30 Years, View from the Boundary and Graham Norton.

The frameable photographic print features Davison in front of the TARDIS. Plus there’s a a full colour booklet with cast, credits and tracklist information.

Accompanied by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop’s familiar Doctor Who theme, the Peter Davison Collection is a fitting tribute to the charming, witty and endearingly youthful Fifth Doctor.

You can pre-order the set now from all good retailers, ahead of its release on the 25th of September.
