Details on January’s release for The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures are now available.

Jodie Whittaker and Mandip Gill encounter a horrifying villain in The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures: Ride or Die by Rochana Patel, due for release January 2026.

When the TARDIS receives a message containing a series of space-time co-ordinates, the Doctor and Yaz can’t help but investigate, even if it’s probably a trap! They soon find themselves caught in the middle of a war between humans and Banshees – militarised versions of the folkloric creatures whose shriek heralds death.

Ride or Die is the fourth instalment in The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures, a series of twelve brand-new full-cast audio dramas which bridge the gap between series 12 and 13 of TV Doctor Who.

The Doctor and Yaz have been sent a list of coordinates… each one pointing to a location in time and space where people are disappearing – but why?

The trail leads to a war-torn world, where conscripted humans battle the terrifying Banshee. Can the Doctor end this conflict before she loses her best friend?

The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures: Ride or Die guest stars Ako Mitchell as Sergeant Johnson, Harry Ryan as Corporal Chapman, Lauren O’Leary as Megan Miller, Giulia Innocenti as the Banshees, Jason Forbes as Prospero, and Maddison Bulleyment as the Tourist.

Writer Rochana Patel said: “The Thirteenth Doctor Adventures really are incredibly special. This TARDIS team still feel fresh from their TV adventures, which means we can do modern and relevant storytelling, in a way that wouldn’t sit quite right in other ranges.

“As such, I threw absolutely everything I could into Ride or Die, to make it feel like a hard-edged, contemporary, science-fiction drama. There’s no cosiness or nostalgia here, and as a result, this one certainly isn’t your average episode! Plus, in the background, there’s an even bigger story arc starting to unfold…”
