There’s a new miniseries on the way for Bernice Summerfield, with Lisa Bowerman returning to play the eminent archaeologist.

Bernice Summerfield: The Dalek Eternity begins in September 2025.

A new Dalek masterplan threatens the galaxy. A deadly alliance is building. Can Bernice Summerfield save us?

Bernice Summerfield (Lisa Bowerman) is now settled into her new home at the Eternity Club, an exclusive asteroid for the galaxy’s explorers (as featured in last year’s series), but a new threat emerges – the Daleks have arrived!

In a brand-new, four-part series of full-cast audio drama adventures, Benny and her friends face off against the evil aliens from Skaro. In the style of their classic Doctor Who adventures, the Daleks have a far-reaching scheme, which begins with them invading the Eternity Club before leading Benny on a quest across the cosmos.

Producer James Goss said: “It’s high time we did an epic for Benny. The Daleks have a terrible new Masterplan and Benny’s travelling the galaxy trying to stop them.

“In a tribute to the scale of Big Finish’s Dalek Empire series as well as the early Dalek stories of the classic TV series, she goes to slave mines, ruined worlds, endless battlefields, crystal seas and underground arsenals. Bernice Summerfield has a lot of past trauma to confront – and all the time, the Dalek alliance is getting bigger.”

The Dalek Eternity comprises four full-cast audio drama releases, each including two half-hour episodes:
