Peter Capaldi looks set to continue beyond the upcoming season of Doctor Who.

Departing showrunner Steven Moffat told the Doctor Who magazine, “I have no reason to suppose that I’m writing out a Doctor.

“Peter is loving the role, and long may he do so.”

Season 10 is Moffat’s final before handing over the reins to Chris Chibnall (Broadchurch). Filming has been underway recently.

The news follows from Capaldi leaving things a bit open ended in an earlier chat.

“I’ve been asked to stay on, which is lovely – and I think Chris Chibnall’s fantastic and a wonderful choice [but] I haven’t made my mind up,” he said previously.

“You’ve seen him go through all those different colours and all those different places,” he continued. “So where he goes now – in series 10 – I don’t know, but he’s been put through the mill.”

Doctor Who returns with a Christmas special later this year.

  1. Never understood why the BBC couldn’t air at least part of a season this year. Are the BBC taking Dr Who fans for granted and saying ‘they’ll be back’?

  2. I love Peter in the role, such a change from Matt and David before him, just wish we didn’t have to wait so long between shows, a full year from the special last Christmas.
