The new season of Doctor Who, set to premiere on Disney+ later this year, will not include the character Anita from the Christmas special "Joy To The World." Showrunner Steven Moffat confirmed she was a "one-off" character without plans for future episodes. Anita was introduced as a friend to The Doctor during a storyline that required him to stay at a hotel for a year. Moffat explained that her character was created due to budget constraints, limiting the show's ability to explore other locations. Despite the disappointment over Anita's absence, fans can look forward to new adventures with Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor and returning companions Millie Gibson and Varada Sethu in the upcoming season.
