Sensational News: Ncuti Gatwa Drops Major Hint About Doctor Who Season 15!

Ncuti Gatwa has officially announced that Doctor Who season 15 is currently being developed, along with his return as the Fifteenth Doctor for another season. Despite season 14 not airing until 2024, the popular sci-fi series will commemorate its 60th anniversary in late 2023 and subsequently begin a new era under the guidance of Gatwa and returning showrunner Russell T Davies.

In an interview with Rolling Stone UK, Gatwa expressed his excitement for the future of Doctor Who, even before David Tennant's anticipated return for the 60th-anniversary special. Gatwa shared details about his career, including his involvement in Netflix's Sex Education and Greta Gerwig's forthcoming Barbie film, alongside his eagerness to once again take control of the TARDIS in season 15. Gatwa's complete response can be found below.

“It kept me warm and it held me all night, even if I was broke. But I’m planning on getting back to it next year, after I finish season two of Doctor Who,”

What Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor Who Season 15 Reveal Means For Season 14?

The future of Doctor Who beyond season 14 has been a topic of much discussion and rumor for some time now, even as production on the episodes slated to air in 2024 was underway. In June, Davies confirmed that he was writing season 15 of Doctor Who, and later dropped hints about one of the new stories in an issue of Doctor Who Magazine. Gatwa's recent response, however, is the first confirmation that he will return to portray the Doctor. While most actors who have played the Doctor have taken on the role for multiple seasons, there have been instances, such as Christopher Eccleston's departure in 2005, where an actor has only starred for a single season.

While Gatwa's return ensures that audiences should not expect a regeneration in the upcoming season, there is still a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the future of the season 14 cast. Although Gatwa's return has been confirmed, the fate of Millie Gibson's character, Ruby Sunday, remains unknown. This uncertainty adds tension and excitement for the entire season. However, there are rumors suggesting that Jemma Redgrave's character may have survived her guest appearance in season 14, potentially leading to a UNIT-centric Doctor Who spin-off series.

Despite the uncertain fates of the companions in season 14, Gatwa's confirmation of his return in season 15 is certainly good news. With his impressive wardrobe and hints of a complex Doctor with hidden emotional struggles, Gatwa's new era of Doctor Who has left fans eagerly anticipating the future of the show. Therefore, many will be thrilled to see more of Gatwa's incarnation in multiple seasons.
