In the BBC press release, Chibnall is quoted as saying: “I wish our successors – whoever the BBC and BBC Studios choose – as much fun as we’ve had. They’re in for a treat!

Doctor Who season 13 Rumors

Doctor Who: Flux is just around the corner and we’ll finally see which rumors are going to come true.
One rumor suggests that Captain Jack Harness, played by John Barrowman, might be making a return in the season. Some dedicated fans spotted a synopsis of a Captain Jack comic book tie-in that briefly suggests that would link closely with the Season 13-second episode.

More recently, a new enemy; Ravagers, have been mentioned a lot. They could be the new enemy that the Doctor will have to face.

Who has played the Doctor?

Starting with the original era doctors, the first actor to ever bring the Time Lord to the screen was William Hartnell, followed by Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGann, Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi and finally by the first female Doctor, Jodie Whittaker.

What order to watch Doctor Who in?

If you’re a completist, you’ll want to start with the original season, which began in 1963. Still, many of these episodes have been lost because of a BBC policy of wiping old videotapes and reusing them. But if you’re looking to start from the 2005 revival season, then you can watch it on BBC iPlayer.

Who is the showrunner for Doctor Who season 13?

Jodie Whittaker is not the only one leaving at the end of season 13. Chris Chibnall would also be departing from his role as Doctor Who’s showrunner. He is still going to be in charge of the remaining episodes but will hand over his role to someone else after the final special. On Sept 24, we found that he would be handing over his to the returning Russell T. Davies. According to the announcement on the official website, Russell will be making an explosive return to Doctor Who to celebrate its 60th Anniversary in 2023 and future episodes.
