As Doctor Who prepares to return for a new season on April 12, fans are already wondering what’s in store for both the incumbent Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, but also, reigning showrunner Russell T Davies. In a recent interview on March 11 on David Tennant’s podcast, Davies said that when he eventually leaves the show, he “won’t go back a third time.” Tennant also asked Davies if he was already thinking about a successor, and the answer was a tentative yes. “There's thinking about that, there's conversations about that, but it's hard. It's a tricky one,” Davies added.
In fairness, Davies was talking to his old pal Tennant about eventually leaving Who, not imminently. And yet, as of now, there is no official announcement about a third new Who season under Davies. So, with Davies talking about a replacement showrunner, is the new Who era ending already?
