Doctor Who season 2 is finally up and running, and I imagine you – yes, you, fellow Whovian – want to know when you can watch its next episode.

In this article, I'll tell you where you can stream this season's second chapter, titled 'Lux', in the US, UK, and Australia. I'll also run you through what date and time it'll launch in these nations.

Without further ado, then, here's when you'll be reunited with The Doctor and Bel in Doctor Who's sophomore season (or, if you've been watching the show's revival since 2005, season 15).

What time is Doctor Who season 2 episode 2 going to be released in the US?

'Lux' will premiere on Disney+ in the US on Saturday, April 19 at 12am PT / 3am ET. That's the same time that Doctor Who season 2 episode 1 was released on one of the world's best streaming services.

When can I stream Doctor Who season 2 episode 'Lux' in the UK?

UK fans can watch Doctor Who season 2's forthcoming chapter on Saturday, April 19 at 8am BST.

Well, on BBC iPlayer, anyway. 'Lux' will also air on BBC One later on the same day, with an expected release time of 6:50pm BST. That's when its predecessor, 'The Robot Revolution,' made its BBC One debut last Saturday (April 12).

So, unless there's a scheduling change between now and then, I'd expect 'Lux' to be released at that time, too.

What is the release date of episode 2 of Doctor Who season 2 in Australia?

Just like American and British viewers, the iconic Time Lord's fanbase can see this season's second episode on Saturday, April 19 albeit with a launch time of 5pm AEST.
