This page absolutely does contain spoilers either about the behind-the-scenes or narrative elements of stories which have not yet been published or broadcast. Please see our spoiler policy for our rules governing articles about such subjects.
Before editing this page, please read T:RUMOUR and T:OOU SRC. Fan sites, videos and blogs are not valid sources for this article. Also cast and crew announcements need to be handled in a particular way.
Please also remember to directly quote people, or to exactly characterise their statements. Do not say that someone said something when they really didn't. Work from original quotes — not a paraphrasing of them. When it comes to anything Russell T Davies, Jane Tranter, Julie Gardner, another exec, or any major star of the show says, give their exact quote only. Remember, a part of the production team's job is to tell the truth, but only very narrowly. So this page should contain only what they exactly say.
Series 14 is an upcoming series of Doctor Who produced by BBC in collaboration with Bad Wolf,[1] which had been acquired by Sony.[2] It entered a new era of the programme as former showrunner and executive producer Russell T Davies made his return to the role he effectively started.[3] Davies' original era began with the series revival in 2005, ended in 2010 with the Tenth Doctor's regeneration in The End of Time, thirteen years before this series.
Overview
Return of a showrunner
On 29 July 2021 the BBC, following Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall's announced departure, noted "We will announce plans for the new generation of Doctor Who in due course – watch this space!".[4]
The new series, and Davies himself[statement unclear], was first teased by Piers Wenger as a change that would be "radical" on 25 August.[5]
It was noted in a big reveal by the BBC on 24 September 2021 that Russell T Davies would make his explosive return in the 60th anniversary special in 2023 and then in "series beyond",[3] a reveal that Davies first hinted at on that same date earlier in the day as "News incoming 3.15pm" on his Instagram along with artwork of his forehead in front of Gallifrey.[6] Like the preceding Series 13[7] the series was announced as happening before the previous series had began broadcasting.
Commenting on his return, Davies said:
I'm beyond excited to be back on my favourite show. But we're time-travelling too fast, there's a whole series of Jodie Whittaker's brilliant Doctor for me to enjoy, with my friend and hero Chris Chibnall at the helm — I'm still a viewer for now.
Chibnall himself added:
It's monumentally exciting and fitting that Doctor Who's 60th anniversary will see one of Britain's screenwriting diamonds return home. Russell built the baton that is about to be handed back to him. Doctor Who, the BBC, the screen industry in Wales — and let's be honest everyone in the whole world — have so many reasons to be Very Excited Indeed about what lies ahead
Speaking at a press event on 11 October, Wenger said of the decision for Davies to return:[8]
I almost think that I don't need to answer that question. I think bringing back Russell for Doctor Who was one of the least painful decisions I've ever had to make. How will he evolve that show? I mean, he is a man with a vision, for sure. But, you know, we are way off filming. We've got a new series starting at the end of the month, and a whole year of Jodie [Whittaker] to go yet. And lots of adventures ahead for her. And so I think it's just a bit early to say what his vision will be, but it was a very exciting opportunity for the BBC to bring him back
Announcements
In May 2017, it was announced that due to the terms of a deal between BBC Worldwide and SMG Pictures in China, the company has first right of refusal on the purchase for the Chinese market of past and future series and spin-offs of the programme.[9][10]
In October 2019, it was revealed that due to the show heading to HBO Max, the network had struck a deal for additional series of the programme.[11]
