Looks like Doctor Who will have a new companion later this year. With Amy and Rory’s companion status somewhat unclear at the end of the last season, they will be departing at the begining of the 7th season, making way for Jenna-Louise Coleman who will be showing up for this year’s Christmas special.

No real sign of what her character will be like or even her name at this point. Jenna-Louise’s credits mostly include British soaps. As a fan of the Ponds I’ll surely miss them, but am anxious to see how this new character plays out.

Check out this interview with Jenna-Louise Coleman for details on her upcoming involvement with the show.
