Is Really Jacob Anderson in Doctor Who Season 13?
A person from Game of Thrones will soon appear on Doctor Who. The actor’s name is Jacob Anderson. As a recurring character throughout the series, Jacob’s new role will see him join forces with the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker), Yaz (Mandip Gill), and Dan Lewis (John Bishop) as the Doctor faces her biggest ever adventure battling evil across time and space.
Doctor Who will return on TV later this year. Jacob from Game of Thrones is a star on TV and he has been in many shows like Episodes, Broadchurch, and Skins. He has also been in King Lear at the Young Vic and War Horse at the National Theatre. Jacob is also a music artist. Jacob goes under the name Raleigh Ritchie. He said that joining Doctor Who made him very happy.
“The Doctor has been a part of my life forever, from watching and rewatching the serials on VHS as a kid and being terrified, to unexpectedly finding my eyes watering when the Tenth Doctor said ‘I don’t want to go’, I always wanted to live in the Whoniverse.
Playing the character Vinder is cool. It is like my dream. Playing Vinder will be fun, adventurous, and dynamic. Jacob’s role was announced at today’s Doctor Who San Diego Comic-Con panel where Chris Chibnall, Jodie Whittaker, Mandip Gill, and John Bishop teased what is in store for the Doctor as well as showing an exclusive trailer.
Who is Jacob Anderson?
Jacob Basil Anderson is an English actor and a music producer. As an actor, he is known for his role as Grey Worm in the TV show Game of Thrones.

As a musician, he uses the alias Raleigh Ritchie (named after his favorite characters from The Royal Tenenbaums); his debut album, You’re a Man Now, Boy, was a soul and trip-hop album released in 2016 to positive reviews.

What are the other details related to Doctor Who Season 13?
According to Chibnall, Series 13 will pick up with the Doctor and Yaz having traveled together (just the two of them) for some time, and we’ll join them “mid-adventure” as they stumble upon Dan Lewis (Bishop). Chibnall also said that the new season will be less episodic than the two seasons he’s run already: “It’s all one story, so every episode is a chapter in a bigger story. We’ve changed the shape of the series for this year.”
Aside from Bishop joining the show, Chibnall teased that there will be many incoming guest stars, and that “quite a few of them will recur across multiple episodes.” One of these guest stars is the special guest who was teased, and he is none other than Game of Thrones and Broadchurch actor Jacob Anderson. He will play a new character named Cinder.
“We play-pretend for a living,” Whittaker said, adding, “And this is the floor to live out all of the bold and creative and I suppose exciting and nerve-wracking choices that you can’t necessarily make when there’s a limitation on genre, on period, on etiquette, on class…. all that goes, just come and play.” Both Gill and Bishop maintained that spirit starts with Whittaker herself. As Bishop said, “Jodie sets the tone.”
