The Doctor is in! Make that Doctors since Doctor Who<\/em> season 14 seems to be jam-packed with new and familiar faces \u2014 including former star David Tennant<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n The long-running BBC America show ended Jodie Whittaker<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s tenure as the time-traveling hero (a role she took over<\/a> from Peter Capaldi<\/strong> in 2018<\/a>) in October 2022. She and showrunner Chris Chibnall<\/strong> left Doctor Who<\/em> together, making way for a new cast and a returning showrunner in season 14.<\/p>\n Sex Education<\/em> actor Ncuti Gatwa<\/strong> has been announced<\/a> as the next incarnation of the Doctor. The 29-year-old is only a few years older than Matt Smith<\/strong> was when he became the youngest actor to ever portray the Time Lord in 2011 at age 26.<\/p>\n Russell T. Davies<\/strong>, who led the 2005 relaunch of the sci-fi show and departed alongside Tennant<\/a> in 2010, will return as showrunner. \u201cNcuti dazzled us, seized hold of the Doctor and owned those TARDIS keys in seconds,\u201d Davies said in a May 2022 statement when Gatwa was announced in the role. \u201cIt\u2019s an honour to work with him, and a hoot, I can\u2019t wait to get started.\u201d<\/p>\n
