The Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson) are on the cover of SFX 379, looking very dapper in Regency-era duds – along with guest star Jonathan Groff and some intriguingly avian beings.

Goodies included
The issue comes with some great Doctor Who extras: two art cards featuring concept designs of the Doctor and Ruby for Titan’s new Fifteenth Doctor comic, plus a double-sided A2 poster featuring artwork from said comic.
Doctor Who
Inside, we go on-set for the Bridgerton-inspired sixth episode of the series, “Rogue”. Over the course of a mammoth 14-page feature we speak to producers Phil Collinson and Chris May, Goff, his fellow guest star Indira Varma, production designer Phil Sims, choreographer Jack Murphy, costume designer Pam Downe, and hair and make-up whizz Claire Williams.
But that’s not all, Who fans! We also speak to Jinkx Monsoon about playing the villainous Maestro, while Russell T Davies, Ncuti and Millie tease the epic two-part season finale. That’s 20 pages of Who stuff altogether.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
George Miller has put pedal to the metal again for another entry in the gas-guzzling post-apocalyptic saga. In Furiosa Anya Taylor-Joy dons the warpaint to play a younger version of the character introduced by Charlize Theron in Fury Road. We speak to the director and his star.
Star Wars: The Acolyte
There have been plenty of books and comics set in the High Republic era (a time of peace before the events of the original movie trilogy), but The Acolyte is the first to bring this period of Star Wars lore to life for live-action TV. Producer Rayne Roberts talks to us about the show’s multiple perspectives, and similarities to Kill Bill.
The Strangers: Chapter 1
We quiz director Renny Harlin about his new addition to the home invasion horror franchise. Is it a reboot? Is it a sequel? Is it a requel? Is it a... you get the general idea.
Coneheads
In this month’s retrospective slot, we speak to comedy legend Dan Aykroyd about the movie which supplied his all-time favourite role. No, not Ghostbusters, or The Blues Brothers, but 1993 sci-fi comedy Coneheads!
And that’s not all, features-wise: we also profile novelist Manda Scott, and get John Marrs to fill in our author questionnaire page.
Red Alert
And the big features are just the tip of the iceberg! As ever, our news section, Red Alert, is crammed with insights into yet more movies, TV shows, comics and books. In the spotlight this month: 30-years-later continuation show Orphan Black: Echoes; centuries-spanning French sci-fi drama The Beast; Netflix sci-fi actioner Atlas; giant spider horror Sting; animated film Ultraman: Rising Camp Cretaceous spinoff Jurassic World: Chaos Theory; a new radio version of The Man Who Fell to Earth; and the latest Ultimates, Archie, X-Men and Star Trek comics.
