Well, it’s official!

Doctor Who Season 6 will premiere on the BBC America Saturday April 23rd at 9pm Eastern/8pm Central – in both the UK and US, at the same time!

The first episode will be directed by Steven Moffat and be the first of two parts.

Here’s the description for the premiere:

“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.”

For more plot details check out some spoilers and also view a clip of Matt Smith (spoilers, as well).
