Following Saturday's debut episode of Doctor Who Season 10, the BBC released a new trailer for the what's to come in the remainder of the season.
The trailer shows off the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and new companion Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie) encountering several of the seasons' upcoming threats, including the return of the mischievous Missy (Michele Gomez).
What may be more exciting is that the trailer's final scene gives fans their first look at John Simm's return as The Master for Doctor Who Series 10. Simm was last seen as the Master in David Tennant's final episode as The Doctor, "The End of Time." Interestingly, The Master is supposed to have regenerated as Missy. How both appear in Doctor Who Season 10 remains to be seen.

Doctor Who Season 10 will also be Capaldi's final season as the Doctor, and the trailer also seems to preview his regeneration, though shouldn't actually occur until Doctor Who 2017 Christmas Special.
Doctor Who Season 10 will also introduce Pearl Mackie as the new companion, Bill Potts, replacing the previous companion, Jenna Coleman's Clara Oswald, who left after Season 9. Whether she will join the new Doctor in Doctor Who Season 11 is still unknown
Doctor Who Season 10 will also see the return of Michele Gomez as Missy and John Simm as The Master. Given that Missy and the Master are the same Time Lord, it should be interesting to see what kind of time-travel shenanigans lead to both of them having a role in the new season.
Capaldi took over as The Doctor in Season 8, after Matt Smith's departure. After three seasons, he will depart the show alongside showrunner Steven Moffat, who has steered the series since Season 5. Moffat was a breakout writer during the Russell T. Davies seasons of Doctor Who.
Moffat will be handing the reins over to Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall for Doctor Who Season 11. Chibnall is a longtime Doctor Who fans who also wrote for the series during the Russell T. Davies era and was head writer on the Doctor Who spinoff series Torchwood.
Chibnall will also be tasked with finding a new Doctor to replace Capaldi. Many fans are clamoring for a female Doctor, something that Moffat's seasons have laid the groundwork for, but Chibnall says the process has barely begun and so it's too early to tell.
Doctor Who airs Saturdays on BBC America.
