Speaking of joining Doctor Who Yasmin says: "If anyone would have told 8 year old Yasmin that one day she’d be part of this iconic show, I would have never in a million years believed them. This show has a place in so many people’s hearts, so to be seen as a trans actress by the legend himself Russell, has not only made my year, it’s made my life. I cannot wait to begin this journey and for you all to see how Rose blossoms. Get Ready.”
Russell T Davies, Showrunner adds: “Life on Doctor Who gets brighter and wilder, how can there be another Rose? You’ll find out in 2023, but it’s an absolute joy to welcome Yasmin to the Doctor Who set. We all fell in love with her in Heartstopper, one of those shows which changes the world - and now Yasmin can change the Whoniverse!”
'Begin this journey'? Sounds like she's the new companion.
Too bad they cast a "diversity hire" for the Doctor. To think we could've had Toby Stephens as The Doctor. Doctor Who died for me when they cast a woman as The Doctor. And, believe me, the popularity has never been lower, almost non existent here in the US. Go woke, go broke.
