The no - nonsense girl of Doctor Who ’s darling Brigadier has been a welcome accession to the Who - niverse in the past few years . Now , she ’s getting her own spinoff series as part of Big Finish ’s accumulation of Doctor Who audio dramas . But the news could have far reaching implications beyond just Kate …
First , here ’s the good news — Kate and her UNIT team ( depending on if this is set before time of year 8 , could that let in fan favorite Osgood ? ) will be the stars of UNIT : Extinction , a unexampled audio series from with child Finish that will commence in November with a new box set of stories in the serial publication being release every six months after that . Jemma Redgrave will repeat her on - filmdom role as Kate , and in the first story UNIT will go up against an Auton Invasion , a repeat thorn in the organization ’s side during the Third Doctor ’s time on Earth . Check out the cover art below :
But as great as it is to be puzzle more Kate Stewart tarradiddle , the announcement potentially has far big implications for Big Finish ’s Doctor Who output going forward .
Up until now , the repair - era of Doctor Who has been stringently off - limits to grownup Finish for their account . They ’ve made insinuation towards elements of it , especially with the Time War , and in turn the show has nodded towards the audio play itself — such as when The Night of the Doctor effectively canonize the Eighth Doctor ’s audio companions back in 2013 . Kate actually tag the first time that freehanded Finish will be allowed to explicitly use a fictitious character and patch ingredient from the 2005 - and - onwards epoch of the show , and plain , that opens up even more possibilities for other characters to make the transition from TV to audio play . Even former Doctor of the Church Christopher Eccleston , David Tennant and Matt Smith ( Tennant is no stranger to Big Finish , having appear in multiple plays for them before he was cast as The Doctor ) !
Only prison term will tell if freehanded Finish and the BBC ’s newfangled deal could extend beyond the adventure of Kate Stewart , but here ’s to desire . Who would n’t want more stories from NuWho ’s past Dr. ?
