John Simm Is Returning To Doctor Who
Reading time: 1 minute
We all know that Michelle Gomez is returning as the Master in the next season of Doctor Who - the trailers have made that clear enough. But now we know that she won't be the only Master, as she's being joined by one of her former selves; John Simm. If the Doctor can meet past incarnations of himself, why can't the Master?
The news was announced by the BBC and marks Simm's first return to the role of the Master since 2010's "The End of Time" episode which marked the end of David Tennant's tenure as the Doctor. The episode saw Simm's Master sacrifice himself to stop the Time Lords from wrenching their home world back into existence. He seemed pretty dead, but Simm's Master has a habit of surviving seemingly fatal odds repeatedly.
I can confirm that it's true, thanks to the power of time travel I'm back. It's always a pleasure to work with this great team of people and I can't wait for you all to see what the Master gets up to in the next series.
John Simm
The BBC would not confirm how and why Simm's incarnation is returning, but Steven Moffat did confirm at least one thing: Michelle Gomez's Missy and Simm's Master will be "face to face" on screen.
Doctor Who returns on April 15th.
