Russell T Davies has exited Doctor Who as showrunner, as the BBC confirms that the Christmas special of the beloved sci-fi drama has been canceled. The broadcaster confirmed the news while announcing they are looking for a new production company to work on the show.
In an official statement, the BBC confirmed this means that Davies and Bad Wolf are not working on this year's Christmas special. They said: "This decision was not taken lightly, and we know it will be disappointing for fans, but in order to set the show up for future series, it was decided that rather than bridge the gap with a one off special, we are choosing to push forward to invest in the long-term future of the show which ensures that when the TARDIS lands once more, it does so in all its glory."
