The much anticipated seventh season of Doctor Who hits BBC America on September 1 with “Asylum Of The Daleks” as confirmed by BBC America themselves.
Lead writer for the show and executive producer Steven Moffat said of the new season: “We have, I think, our biggest range of stories EVER. We’ve got the return of the Daleks AND the Weeping Angels — both of them poll-topping “Doctor Who” adversaries — in cracking new stories, we’ve got Dinosaurs on a Spaceship (it’s what you’ve always wanted), we’ve got a glorious western with a Cyborg Gunslinger, the most unusual invasion Earth story EVER, and location shooting in New York for the Pond finale.”
Check out the episode synopses for the new season straight from BBC America below:
Asylum of the Daleks — Episode 1
Kidnapped by his oldest foe, the Doctor is forced on an impossible mission — to a place even the Daleks are too terrified to enter…. the Asylum. A planetary prison confining the most terrifying and insane of their kind, the Doctor and the Ponds must find an escape route.

Asylum of the Daleks premieres Saturday, September 1, 9:00pm ET.

An unmanned spaceship hurtles towards certain destruction — unless the Doctor can save it, and its impossible cargo…… of dinosaurs. By his side a ragtag gang of adventurers; a big game hunter, an Egyptian Queen and a surprised member of the Pond family.
