Series 6 of Doctor Who, sometimes known as Season 32 for clarity over Season 6 is expected to air on BBC One around Spring 2011. DWM Issue 419 has confirmed that it has been commissioned by the BBC, and producer Piers Wenger also announced the same at the BBC Press Launch for Series 5 in March 2010[1]. Filming is set to start in July 2010. This series will be preceded by a 2010 Christmas Special, of which Steven Moffat shall write.[1]

Cast

It has been confirmed that Matt Smith will return as the Eleventh Doctor[1]. Producers also confirmed that Karen Gillan will return as Amy Pond[2]. This will make this the first season since the 2005 relaunch of the series when both the Doctor and companion from the previous season will carry over into the new season.

Confirmed cast

Notes

  • Steven Moffat confirmed in Doctor Who Confidential that River Song's identity and background story will be revealed in Series 6, and that the unasnwered questions of series 5 concerning the Time Field cracks, the silence, and the mytsterious external force that took control of the TARDIS and tried to make it explode, will play a role. It is possible that River Song may return as a full time companion, but nothing about this has been confirmed yet. It is also possible that Rory Williams will play a much larger role.

Production

Writers

Neil Gaiman has confirmed that he is writing an episode for the first half of this series. It is highly likely that Steven Moffat will return as Executive Producer and Head Writer and if so will most likely write at least 3 episodes (The first, and finale episodes). Gaiman told BBC News that his episode was originally titled The House of Nothing[3] It was revealed on Neil Gaiman's twitter page that his episode will be the third episode of Series 6 [1]
