BBC America will air the five Doctor Who specials that wrap up David Tennant’s tenure on the show, according to Variety.  The Next Doctor (the Christmas special) will air on June 27th; and Planet of the Dead will air in July.  The remaining three specials have not been scheduled.

 

Tennant’s star power is also being used on spinoff show The Sarah Jane Adventures, according to a BBC announcement.  He’ll appear in two episodes of the new 12-part season. 

 

The Sarah Jane Adventures tells stories starring investigative journalist Sarah Jane Smith, a former Doctor’s companion.  Smith’s role is played by Elisabeth Sladen.  Tennant’s appearance is promised as a significant role, and not a cameo.
