David Tennant’s Doctor Who is making a surprise comeback this fall, giving longtime fans a chance to experience the classic in a new way. A special two-part story from Tennant’s Tenth Doctor series will screen in theaters as a newly edited, movie-length presentation with additional footage.
BBC Studios, CinemaLive, and Fathom Entertainment announced Doctor Who: The Satan Pit. It stars Tennant as the tenth incarnation of the Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose Tyler. The special feature-length version combines The Impossible Planet and The Satan Pit from Season 2 of the acclaimed sci-fi series, which originally aired in 2006.
Both episodes have been re-edited into one cinematic cut. It will take place across more than 1,000 screens in the U.S., UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Doctor Who fans get one night to revisit Tennant’s Tenth Doctor
While the screening will reach 1,000 cinemas across multiple countries, fans have only one night on Doctor Who Day to revisit the newly edited movie feature. The event marks 20 years of the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler. However, it’s not a simple re-release of the original episodes, as it comes with additional footage.
The two-part story film cut restores deleted scenes that were previously available on DVD. It also includes extended footage with never-before-seen scenes. It also includes an exclusive retrospective interview with award-winning director James Strong, who helmed the aforementioned episodes.
The story follows the Doctor and Rose after the TARDIS lands at Sanctuary Base 6, a remote station on a planet orbiting the black hole. “As the base crew uncovers something ancient beneath the surface, the Doctor and Rose are pulled into one of their darkest and most unforgettable adventures, facing the terrifying Ood and an evil older than time itself: the Beast,” reads the official synopsis.
Tickets are now on sale for the 120-minute film through Fathom’s official site and other local outlets.
