And you thought Jenna Coleman‘s exit was big.

Doctor Who boss Steven Moffat has announced that he will step down as showrunner after the show’s upcoming 10th season. He will be replaced by Broadchurch scribe Chris Chibnall.


“Feels odd to be talking about leaving when I’m just starting work on the scripts for season 10, but the fact is my timey-wimey is running out,” Moffat said in a statement. “While Chris is doing his last run ofBroadchurch, I’ll be finishing up on the best job in the universe and keeping the TARDIS warm for him. It took a lot of gin and tonic to talk him into this, but I am beyond delighted that one of the true stars of British Television drama will be taking the Time Lord even further into the future. At the start of season 11, Chris Chibnall will become the new showrunner of Doctor Who. And I will be thrown in a skip.”



Think Capaldi will also leave?

Hopefully Capaldi sticks around for at least one season after Moffat is gone. I really want to see him as The Doctor under a different showrunner.

That makes no sense. I could see if there was a gap between when Moffat left and when the Chibnall episodes started airing but to have to wait so long just to get Moffatt's final season over with is ridiculous.

I can only imagine what he has planned. :snoop:

The new companion has been cast. The rumor is that it's this woman: Rakhee Thakrar. She's cute. I approve.

They finally confirmed Thakrar as the new Companion? I know she was the rumored choice for the past couple months.
Wonder if she will be a Muslim character or not?
