The new images show Groff, Gatwa, and Gibson standing on an ornate staircase wearing classic Regency-era clothing with Groff sporting a navy blue tailcoat and the classic sideburns that fans of Bridgerton know oh so well.

Although filming began last December, so far information is scant about the new season. What we do know is that Gatwa will become the Doctor during the 60th anniversary special and images were released of the titular Time Lord and his companion in ‘60s garb, teasing a storyline set in that era.
While no official trailer has been released for season 14, there is a teaser trailer for the 60th anniversary special that reveals Neil Patrick Harris as a mysterious villain.
The Doctor will be hopping about the TARDIS starting in November with the three-part 60th anniversary special starring David Tennet and Catherine Tate. It will premiere exclusively on the BBC for the UK and Ireland, and will stream on Disney+ for US viewers.
