In a new interview with Deadline, BBC Studios’ Zai Bennett has given some hints about Doctor Who’s future.

Noting that he’s not speaking for the BBC, but just BBC Studios, Bennett said, “We’re a big important part of Doctor Who and are all motivated to make sure Doctor Who has a long and flourishing life. We’ve got the Christmas special coming. After that, it’s time for us all to work on it.”

This would seem to confirm recent suggestions that the Christmas Special is a one off – perhaps designed to deal with the shock appearance of Billie Piper at the end of Ncuti Gatwa’s final story – and not the start of a new season.
