Former Glee actor Jonathan Groff has transformed into a Duke in a first look at his mysterious new Doctor Who role.

The 38-year-old was previously revealed to be joining Sex Education’s Ncuti Gatwa and Coronation Street’s Millie Gibson in a ‘mysterious and exciting guest role’.

And we’ve not got our first look as the trio have transformed into their period-drama-esque characters.

In a newly released image, Millie poses in a bright yellow gown wearing white gloves fit for a Duchess, while Ncuti and Jonathan stand regal in their tailcoats.

Ncuti, 30, looks ever the regency gentleman in a burgundy jacket over a white bow tie, sporting knee length socks with his buckled shoes.

Jonathan meanwhile, matches in a royal blue tailcoat with a waist jacket and what appears to be a pocket watch hanging on his waist line, perhaps hinting to his character’s storyline.

Speaking of his new role, Jonathan previously said: ‘I am so thrilled to jump into the extraordinary mind of Russell T Davies and watch the incredible Ncuti Gatwa soar in this iconic role!’

Showrunner Russell added: ‘This is an incredible coup, and a great honour, to get such a huge star striding on to our set.

‘So strap on your space boots, this is going to be a blast!’

Sci-fi fans have already been treated to the first pictures of Millie and Ncuti in Doctor Who, and the pair have been spotted filming on set, while details about the upcoming series have been kept tightly under wraps.

Ncuti’s first scenes as the Fifteenth Doctor are set to air over the festive period later this year – but not before Tenth Doctor David Tennant makes a grand return as the… Fourteenth Doctor. 

We can’t wait!

Doctor Who returns in November on the BBC and iPlayer.
