That and the news that Russell T Davies is returning to Doctor Who as the replacement for outgoing showrunner Chris Chibnall have kept fans talking for a while now.Ĭhibnall has admitted it took him longer to leave Doctor Who than he planned, saying: “It’s taken longer than expected if we’re being honest. It was announced in July that Jodie Whittaker and Chibnall would be stepping down after the upcoming 13th series and a trilogy of specials – with a regeneration set to happen in a special feature-length episode as part of the BBC’s centenary celebrations in Autumn 2022. Many foes from yesteryear have either already returned or will return during the events of Flux, including the Weeping Angels, the Ood and the Cybermen – while the first episode also included some nods to an old Doctor and classic companions. Prior to the series premiere, Jodie Whittaker – who recently revealed that she briefly considered going back on her original exit plan – had promised that there will be a “massive arc” to enjoy in her final series, and early in the season it seems to be living up to that billing. Line of Duty alumni Craig Parkinson and Rochenda Sandall have been busy discussing their roles, with the former teasing an imminent return and the latter suggesting her role may not be what it initially appears.Īs per usual, there are a ton of fan theories circulating the internet, with the top ones referencing a possible regeneration to come, the Doctor’s lost history, a new secret Time Lord, and the strained dynamic between The Doctor and Yaz. The BBC is keeping most story details under wraps for the last chapter, but we do now know that the episode will be titled The Vanquishers and will feature some familiar faces from earlier in the season. Hopefully, the episode will answer some of our burning Doctor Who questions that cropped up after Once, Upon Time, as we inch closer towards the climactic series finale. There’s particularly high interest this week as tonight’s episode features terrifying baddies The Weeping Angels, who are yet to have a full confrontation with Whittaker’s incarnation of The Doctor – get a first look here. Martin herself would apparently be keen to see it happen, telling fans in a recent Twitter video that she’ll be “ hard to get rid of” – and there has been talk lately of expanding Doctor Who into a larger MCU-style franchise.
