Meanwhile, Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies has revealed he is developing a brand-new series for Channel 4, sparking concerns about his future involvement with the iconic sci-fi show.
“His team also sees a lot of fan backlash from the series and doesn’t want the perception of him still being The Doctor to get in the way of any future work.”.
The outlet also reported that the BBC could cancel the whole series, which has seen viewer ratings drop from huge numbers in its heyday to 3.5 million in the most recent episodes.
His latest project, Tip Toe, an LGBT drama set to premiere in 2026, has raised questions about whether he will have time to continue overseeing Doctor Who, especially amid speculation about the show's future.
Reports suggest Gatwa may exit the series after just two seasons, frustrated by the lack of clarity surrounding the show's future beyond 2025.
