Rumors of the Doctor’s demise are almost always greatly exaggerated. In the canon of Doctor Who, the Doctor is a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, and as such, can regenerate into a new body seemingly forever.

Right now, there are essentially two directions the next iteration of Doctor Who might take: one short-term outcome, and another future that might involve us all playing a very long waiting game.
