I'll tell you everything I know about season 8, airing in Augest! Wahoo!

There might just be a speck of spolier in this.

General
The season will start in Augest, with no split, and 12 episodes.

Clara is returning as companion, with two new ones! Samuel Anderson will come as Danny Pink, with Ellis George playing his little sister Courtney.

The Paternoster Gang will return! They are in the first episode and Neve McIntosh (Vastra) said the Paternosters will be helping the new Doctor A LOT!!!

Alex Kingston has hinted a return as River!

Murray Gold is staying on as the show's composer.

The Clockwork Droids and the Daleks are set to return! I expect the Cybermen and the Silence will return as well. Hopefully the wooden Cyberman will return!

Clara was seen dressing like Sarah Jane. This might lead to a wibbly wobbly time wimey plot, including Sarah Jane being a Time Lady, and then regenerating into Clara!

The finale will be a two-parter.
