The BBC have announced that Michelle Gomez will be returning as Missy in the two-part Doctor Who adventure that will open series nine, The Magician’s Apprentice/The Witch’s Familiar, written by Steven Moffat.
Steven Moffat said:
Everybody hide – Michelle Gomez as Missy was an instant hit last year, so she’s straight back to plague the Doctor and Clara in the series opener. But what brings her back into their lives is the last thing they’d expect.
Michelle Gomez said:
Things have been a little beige since I left Missy behind, so I’m delighted to be putting my lippie back on. I’m positively dying to see The Doctor again!
The story also sees the return of UNIT and Gemma Redgrave as Kate Lethbridge-Stewart. The director is Hettie MacDonald who directed the Hugo Award-winning series 3 episode, Blink.
