19 Years Later, An Obscure 'Doctor Who' Villain is Coming Back in a Big Way
Briefly

In a new trailer for "Joy to the World," the Doctor notes that he's once again faced with a creation from the Villengard Conflict Solutions. He calls Villengard the "biggest arms manufacturer in recorded history... old enemies of mine." This time, Villengard has weaponized a "star seed," which the Doctor is worried can obliterate all of history.
The return of Villengard means that the 15th Doctor is set to confront some of his obscure yet formidable foes. The corporation's actions throughout the series highlight a recurring theme of the dangers posed by weapons and AI.
Villengard was first introduced during the 9th Doctor era and has appeared at various points in the series. This continuity reinforces the show's intricate narrative, connecting old villains to new adventures for the Doctor.
In "Boom," the 15th Doctor encountered Villengard's AI capabilities, which euthanized soldiers in endless wars. This modern adaptation of the villainous corporation showcases Doctor Who's commentary on technology and morality.
