Exciting Updates: Doctor Who Season 15 Secretly Underway Before Season 14 Even Airs!
Exciting news for Doctor Who fans! As Season 14 is set to premiere, it's already been confirmed that the highly anticipated Season 15 is already in development This promising update from Russell T Davies hints at a bright future for the beloved show
Despite Doctor Who season 14 currently being filmed for a 2024 release, showrunner Russell T Davies is already working on season 15. The popular sci-fi series will air its 14th season in 2024, featuring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth incarnation of the leading Time Lord. Gatwa is currently filming for the upcoming season alongside new companion star Millie Gibson. While fans eagerly await David Tennant's return to Doctor Who before Gatwa's full debut in fall 2023, it is evident that showrunner Davies is dedicated to the show's long-term future.
In an upcoming issue of Doctor Who Magazine, Davies disclosed that he has already started working on the scripts for season 15, despite season 14 still being filmed. He mentioned that four episode scripts for season 15 are currently in development, and he tentatively expects the new season to air in 2025.
And with no time to spare, we eagerly dive into the 2025 season. At this very moment, four scripts are in the works simultaneously, including the one I have before me, which will remain unseen until the following year.
Russell T Davies' Doctor Who Season 15 News Is A Good Sign For The Show's Future
Davies' comments are likely to alleviate concerns about the show's future, especially after a period of inconsistent release schedules. In the past, there have been years when Doctor Who didn't air a full season, such as 2016, 2019, and 2022, with only a few episodes released during those years. However, Davies' announcement that the Doctor will be back in 2025 indicates a return to a more regular yearly release schedule, similar to his previous tenure and Moffat's earlier years.
Davies' involvement in the early development of Season 15 suggests the possibility of a more expansive storyline for his Doctor Who era. Unlike the standalone nature of Eccleston's debut season, Davies' new era is expected to have a larger ongoing narrative right from the start. As Season 15 is currently in progress, the future of Doctor Who looks promising, with a star-studded cast, a partnership with Disney+, and rumors of new spin-offs generating renewed public interest. Viewers can anticipate the release of Season 15 in 2025, signaling the return of yearly Doctor Who seasons.
