Peter Capaldi will attend his first New York Comic Con in October.

He’ll be joined at the event by new companion Pearl Mackie and Doctor Who show runner Steven Moffat.

NYCC will also host a panel devoted to new Who spin-off Class with actors Greg Austin, Fady Elsayed, Sophie Hopkins and Vivian Oparah, as well as writer, creator and executive producer Patrick Ness and executive producer Brian Minchin due to attend.

During the Doctor Who panel fans are being promised a sneak peek of what’s ahead including this year’s Christmas Special as well as hints on what’s in store for Steven Moffat’s final season as showrunner.
