New Year’s Day in 2020 for Doctor Who fans means the precisely 365 day wait for Season 12 to begin finally concludes. Jodie Whittaker is back as the Thirteenth Doctor, and she’ll be accompanied by both familiar friends and rather large, pesky familiar foes.
In the United States, Doctor Who will once again be televised on BBC America at 9/8 c. Those with cable or satellite TV packages probably already have the channel in their lineup. You can also watch Doctor Who Season 12 Episode 1 online free without cable using a live stream service.
BBC America via Fubo TV

Doctor Who Season 12 Episode 1 Preview
If you loved The Judoon who terrorized the Tenth Doctor more than a decade ago, get excited because they are confirmed to be returning for Season 12 as the still above reveals.
Specifically they will be returning to modern-day Gloucester. The “why” remains a mystery but might be revealed by the time the Season 12 premiere comes to a close.
When the episode does end it might very well do so on a cliffhanger. Spyfall, Part 1 will naturally be followed by Spyfall, Part 2 on Sunday, January 5th.
Guest-starring in Spyfall, Part 1 is veteran actor Neil Stuke. He’ll be making his Doctor Who debut.
Other newcomers include Jo Martin, Molly Harris, Julia Foster and Anjli Mohindra. They’ll join the returning team including Mandip Gill, Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole.
Team. Gang. Fam. #DoctorWho returns to @BBCAmerica on New Year's Day at 8pm! pic.twitter.com/W0ORmFGLNx
