Empire of the Wolf was the story published in the Doctor Who: Empire of the Wolf miniseries in 2021, starring the Eighth and Eleventh Doctors.

Despite being promoted as a celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Eighth Doctor's debut, the story contained more elements from the 2005 revival era of Doctor Who, most notably the return of Rose Tyler, at a time which postdates the events of Journey's End in her personal timeline, in favour of any return of the Eighth Doctor's comic companions such as Stacy Townsend, Ssard, Izzy, Destrii, etc. As such, it offered yet another account of Rose's life with the so-called Meta-Crisis Doctor which bore a closer resemblance to, but was still fundamentally different from that which was established in The Turning of the Tide.

Another central aspect to the story was the return of the alternate version of Rose, introduced in Alternating Current.
