"The 'Doctor Who' family is growing, and it's fantastic to be able to welcome the young new cast of 'Class' in to the Whoniverse," Capaldi, 58, said.
Series creator Patrick Ness added: "At last, we can tell you a little more about Class! Though there are still many, many secrets to come. Many. Like, a lot. But of course the Doctor is in episode one! That's how these things are done. Truly, though, I can't wait for everyone to see the show; we've worked so hard and I'm so proud of it."
According to the series synopsis, the show will follow four 'alienated' students at the fictional Coal Hill School in Shoreditch, which has featured regularly in 'Doctor Who' since the series' beginning.
The series will see the group "charged with a great responsibility by the mysterious alien known as the Doctor: guard against the creatures of nightmare that want nothing more than to find a way through to Earth and take it for their own.
