Doom's Day was a multi-media series beginning on 20 March 2023, with its first story released on 5 June and final story on 6 October. It was released in celebration of the 60th Anniversary of Doctor Who.

The series starred Sooz Kempner as Doom, a time-travelling assassin on the run from Death itself and seeking the help of the Doctor to escape her fate.

Overview

Although predated by an early Amazon listing for the Four From Doom's Day audio anthology, set to be released in August of the same year, which appeared as early as 5 January 2023,[1] the series was first teased online by Doctor Who social media on 19 March 2023[2] via another webcast. The following day, its introductory entry, a live-action webcast entitled Meet Doom - the Universe's Greatest Assassin!, was released[3] alongside a press release on the official Doctor Who website.[4]

Stories

Various stories were released by Doctor Who Magazine, Titan Comics, Penguin Random House, Eastside Games, Big Finish, BBC Audio and the official Doctor Who YouTube channel.
