Peter Capaldi is looking to blaze his own trail as the new star of Doctor Who. As you can see in the first trailer for the BBC series' eighth season, the recently regenerated Time Lord is looking to right some of the wrongs he's committed in past incarnations.

This trailer follows a pair of teasers as well as the first official image from the season premiere "Deep Breath."

Steven Moffat penned the season opener as well as three others, including the two-part finale. Speaking of the finale, it's directed by Rachel Talalay who helmed Tank Girl and The Borrowers. Sherlock's Mark Gatiss also wrote an episode.

The new season premieres Aug. 23.
