The new trailer for the next season of "Doctor Who" is full of old-school Cybermen, a mysterious pyramid, a cute robot pal, women ice warriors and maybe even a human Dalek.

"This is the gateway to everything that ever was, or can be."

So begins the new trailer for "Doctor Who."

Season 10 is the last season for showrunner Steven Moffat, and if the new trailer is any indication, it seems he's making sure fans get everything they want.

The trailer, posted Monday, shows the Doctor (Peter Capaldi) and his new companion Bill Potts (Pearl Mackie), as well as returning characters Missy (Michelle Gomez) and Nardole (Matt Lucas) holding the Fourth Doctor's sonic screwdriver.

There are interesting shoutouts to the original-but-still-creepy 1960s Cybermen, as well as quick shots of a cute robot buddy that speaks in emoji; Mars; 1814 London; a giant eyeball; and of course, Daleks. Though one might be a human Dalek.

Since this is Capaldi's last season as the Doctor, it could mean fans get hints at how he might exit and regenerate into another actor to fill the Tardis.

Fans should keep a keen eye out in the new season, which begins on BBC and BBC America, April 15.
