Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) is slated to appear in BBC’s upcoming installment of Doctor Who, according to Deadline. While his official character has yet to be revealed, Harris will be featured alongside new Doctor Ncuti Gatwa (Sex Education) and Yasmin Finney (Heartstopper), as well as recurring stars David Tennant (Good Omens) and Catherine Tate (The Office).

The classic series centers around The Doctor, who time travels through time and space to save people in need. Having originated in 1963, the series has had several Doctors – the last being Jodie Whittaker (Venus). Harris will reportedly appear in the series as its newest villain, as he implied in an Instagram post, “Never looked more dashing . . . I’ll try my hardest to do my worst. This Doctor has no idea what’s in store. And even if he does…Who cares? Ha ha ha HA ha-ha-ha!”
