Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies has made it clear that he won't be ignoring the divisive Timeless Child storyline in the upcoming season of the hit show. In fact, he will be exploring it further and hopes that continues long into the series' future.
Previous showrunner Chris Chibnall introduced this arc during the Jodie Whittaker era which essentially revealed that the Doctor is a billion-year-old being called the Timeless Child, who was discovered abandoned and lost on a planet, then becoming the base genetic code for the Time Lord race. Given that this unveiled a brand new backstory for a character who has existed in pop culture for 60 years, it's safe to say that this was a controversial move.
