Read our privacy policy Russell T Davies is returning to Doctor Who as the series’ showrunner. It will also be Jodie Whittaker’s final outing as the Doctor, having played the Time Lord for three series. “But we’re time-travelling too fast, there’s a whole series of Jodie Whittaker’s brilliant Doctor for me to enjoy, with my friend and hero Chris Chibnall at the helm – I’m still a viewer for now.” Chibnall said: “It’s monumentally exciting and fitting that Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary will see one of Britain’s screenwriting diamonds return home. Russell built the baton that is about to be handed back to him – Doctor Who, the BBC, the screen industry in Wales, and let’s be honest everyone in the whole world, have so many reasons to be Very Excited Indeed about what lies ahead.” Whittaker’s six-episode final series as the Doctor is expected to air later this year, with the actor appearing in three additional specials in 2022 before passing on the baton.
