Doctor Who boss casts doubt on show future in 'uncertain' update

Many Doctor Who fans have been left in limbo after Ncuti Gatwa's second season as The Doctor came to a close in an exciting two-part finale. While they are excitedly anticipating another new series, a show boss has now admitted that they "don't know what will happen".

The latest series saw The Doctor become trapped in a dystopian world which is controlled by the Time Lady and the future is left up in the air, with Billie Piper making an epic return to the show. However, a showrunner said they "don't know" the future of the show yet. Russell T Davies for Doctor Who Magazine recently shared: "We don't know what's happening yet, and while everyone works that out, I'll take a pause on this page... Hopefully, we'll have news soon". Despite not knowing exactly when the show may return, if ever, the writer recently revealed to Radio Times that he already has ideas mapped out for up to three more seasons, demonstrating his strong commitment to keeping Doctor Who thriving.

However, since picking up the series, Disney Plus has been referring to season 16 and season three. They only added to the confusion as they said: "As we have previously stated, the decision on season 3 will be made after season 2 airs and any other claims are just pure speculation.

"The deal with Disney Plus was for 26 episodes - and we still have an entire spin-off, The War Between the Land and the Sea, to air."

It is still unclear why Ncuti decided to leave the show, but on his departure, he shared a sweet message about his time as the Doctor on Instagram.

Referring to his co-stars, he wrote: "Three queens of the sky. Twas an experience like no other and thank God we were by eachothers side. There aren't quite the words for how much you both mean to me but I am so grateful I got the opportunity to work, learn from and laugh with you both everyday.

"You're both just simply incredible and it has been nothing short of a blessing to share this journey with both of you. Ruby Sunday and Belinda Chandra will live in mine and the Whoniverse hearts forever.

"Also shout out to the CAPTAIN of all 15's companions. Captain Poppy. Ultimate top dog of this season! (lil Sienna brought so much life and magic to us all on set ) I love you guys. We did it."
