- You may be looking for season 9 of the original series.
Series 9 of Doctor Who will begin filming in January 2015[1], for an airdate of 2015. This will be Peter Capaldi's second series as the Twelfth Doctor[2] and Jenna Coleman's third series as Clara Oswald, making her the longest running companion of the new series to date.[3]
New to Doctor Who, but not the DWU, this series will be Catherine Tregenna — the Torchwood writer will be penning an episode of the series.[4] Tregenna will be the first female Who writer since Helen Raynor's two-parter in series 4, and the only one to date under Moffat's rule as show runner.
In DWM 480, Michelle Gomez confirmed that she will return in series 9 as Missy, the latest incarnation of the Master who served as the central villain in series 8. Moffat teased in DWM 475, "I've figured out the cliffhanger to the penultimate episode of [series 9]. And it's a whopper. Ohh, I don’t think you'll see this coming!"
On 17 December 2014, at a press conference for the Christmas special Last Christmas, Steven Moffat revealed the title of the first episode of the regular series to be The Magician's Apprentice.[5]
For long time there had been huge debate on whether Jenna Coleman would leave or stay after the Christmas special Last Christmas, but, after speaking at a press launch for the Christmas special at London's BFI earlier in December, Jenna revealed: "It's wonderful – I've got another series of stories with the Doctor." She added, "I couldn't walk away with the story being unresolved and there's so much more to do – I think they've finally just reached a point where they really understand each other!" and executive producer Steven Moffat confirmed this: "Jenna is obviously in all of the next series. There was a certain amount of toing and froing, wasn't there, Jenna? It occurred to us all that we don’t start filming until January, so we could keep it a proper secret." Jenna also hinted at what to expect in series 9: "Just when Clara was feeling more comfortable in the relationship, it's thrown something totally new up."[6]
