Doctor Who

Christmas has come and gone, and with it another round of Doctor Who goodbyes. This time it’s extra special, however, as not only star Peter Capaldi and showrunner Steven Moffat’s exits from the series, but also the debut of our first female Doctor, Jodie Whittaker! Watch for yourself in an official clip from “Twice Upon a Time.”

No Doctor Who fan is ready to say goodbye to Peter Capaldi, though we’ll thankfully have no less than three Doctors to help him off. See One meet Twelve in a first clip from 2017 Christmas special “Twice Upon a Time,” and feel free to add your own TARDIS design critique.

The Doctor has always been fashion-forward, so consider Jodie Whittaker’s 13th Time Lord officially keeping with tradition. The first female Doctor Who lead has arrived in her suspended, multi-color costume, and we can already feel the cosplay in motion.

As Doctor Who prepares to enter a new era, one of the franchise’s later offerings is officially dismissed. Class spinoff writer Patrick Ness and BBC bosses confirm the series will not return for Season 2, as “it just didn’t really land for us.”

In all the excitement of Doctor Who naming Jodie Whittaker as the first female Doctor, we forgot a Christmas special has to get us there! See the first trailer from Comic-Con 2017, as Peter Capaldi’s Twelve Meets David Bradley’s One (with bonus Bill!) in “Twice Upon a Time.”

You know those rare moments when everyone on the internet seems to be talking about the same thing? Sports, politics, entertainment, whatever… those are the moments that make social media both a blessing and a curse. Take, for instance, a talented (if not slightly unknown) actress named Jodie Whittaker. If you were to go to Google Trends right now and look up her name, you’d see a sudden spike in searches, indicating that everyone everywhere is suddenly obsessed with learning more about her career. Why on earth could that be?

The imminent replacement of Doctor Who star Peter Capaldi affords the franchise yet another opportunity to shake things up with a female Doctor, or man of another race. The rumor mill is predictably rife with speculation, but a BBC news segment curiously hints at a woman commanding the TARDIS, if not Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

Doctor Who made it most of the way through Peter Capaldi’s final season without any major casting leaks, but the dam may soon burst. According to one former Who showrunner, the Thirteenth Doctor has officially been cast.

We’ve only just begun the farewell Doctor Who season for Peter Capaldi, but something very fishy is going on with Twelve’s regeneration. Not only has Capaldi already shot his demise, but a new trailer shows us more of the impending regeneration, and first look at John Simm making his Master-ful return.

There’s no two ways around the fact that Peter Capaldi’s Doctor Who exit is coming, though a recent trailer raised eyebrows with a hint of Twelve’s regeneration. That may have been deliberate, as Capaldi cryptically reveals he’s already shot a death scene, without having filmed the 2017 Christmas special.
