Q: When is "Doctor Who" coming back? It is coming back, right?

The most recent episode aired on New Year's Day of this year, and the network announced at the time that Season 12 wouldn't premiere until "early 2020."

Luce
After being adopted by a white couple (Watts and Roth) and removed from the war-torn African country of Eritrea, Luce (Harrison Jr.) enjoys a peaceful life. He's a beloved and well-respected student at his high school and is both academically and athletically inclined. When his history teacher, Harriet Wilson (Spencer), repeatedly praises him for being a shining example, and singles him out time and again, he expresses his dislike for her and for the tokenism he feels is being foisted on him. Luce raises Ms. Wilson's suspicions when he takes an alarmingly controversial stance in a writing assignment, and she takes it upon herself to warn his parents about his work, as well as other concerning activities, including bringing fireworks to school. Grappling with the knowledge that Luce was once a child soldier in his home country, his parents are forced to choose between defending their son and disciplining him, while balancing their own expectations with their family's reality.
