We know the person who introduced Doctor Who into the twenty first century is returning to the collection he helped revitalize after showrunner Chris Chibnall and present Doctor Jodie Whittaker depart the TARDIS after three specials scattered all through 2022. But now we all know when the second period of Russell T. Davies’ Doctor Who will start: November 2023, simply in time for the collection’ sixtieth anniversary.

The very first episode of the beloved sci-fi staple aired on the BBC on November 23, 1963, with William Hartnell taking part in the very first incarnation of the Doctor (effectively, so far as we knew again then). Davies has confirmed to The Guardian that the primary episode of his second tenure because the showrunner of Doctor Who will premiere in some unspecified time in the future in November of 2023, starring whoever the hell will get forged to play the 14th model of the Time Lord. When The Guardian requested if English musician and actor Oly Alexander had been forged within the function, as has been rumored, Davies responded, “Behave! Stop it! We have genuinely not cast anyone yet. We’re just starting auditions.”

It’ll be attention-grabbing to see what Davies does with the chance—whether or not he’ll forgo the Stephen Moffat period’s navel-gazing on the character or the Chibnall period’s try to fill within the Doctor’s previous. A sixtieth anniversary is an ideal time to look again on the legacy of Doctor Who as a collection, however so was the fiftieth anniversary, and all Moffat might muster—underneath bonkers circumstances—for that was the enjoyable however in the end anticlimactic “The Day of the Doctor” starring David Tennant and Matt Smith because the tenth and eleventh Doctors, respectively. Perhaps it might be higher for Davies to step instantly into the collection’ future and save the lookbacks for later, even when it might stoke the ire of followers who need an anniversary to be celebrated as Who has previously, with its conventional Doctor crew ups. With almost two full years till the 14th Doctor begins his tenure, nevertheless, Davies has loads of time to resolve.
