Speaking on it, Gatwa said:
{{Quote|There aren’t quite the words to describe how I’m feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared. This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my upmost to do the same. Russell T Davies is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself and being able to work with him is a dream come true. His writing is dynamic, exciting, incredibly intelligent and fizzing with danger. An actor’s metaphorical playground. The entire team have been so welcoming and truly give their hearts to the show. And so as much as it’s daunting, I’m aware I’m joining a really supportive family. Unlike [[the Doctor]], I may only have one heart but I am giving it all to this show.|[[Ncuti Gatwa]]|https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/ncuti-gatwa-is-the-doctor}}
Showrunnner Davies added:
{{Quote|The future is here and it’s Ncuti! Sometimes talent walks through the door and it’s so bright and bold and brilliant, I just stand back in awe and thank my lucky stars. Ncuti dazzled us, seized hold of the Doctor and owned those [[TARDIS key]]s in seconds. It’s an honour to work with him, and a hoot, I can’t wait to get started. I’m sure you’re dying to know more, but we’re rationing ourselves for now, with the wonderful [[Jodie Whittaker|Jodie]]’s epic finale yet to come. But I promise you, [[2023 (releases)|2023]] will be spectacular!|[[Russell T Davies]]|https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/ncuti-gatwa-is-the-doctor}}

Due to showrunner Russell T Davies announcing in Doctor Who Magazine#585 that the series would consist of only 8 episodes plus a special, this series would have an identical number of episodes to the previous Series 13, which also consisted of a reduced episode count.[1]
In October2019, it was revealed that due to the show heading to HBO Max, the network had struck a deal for additional series of the programme.[4]
On 29 July2021, following the announcement of Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall's departure, the BBC noted, "We will announce plans for the new generation of Doctor Who in due course – watch this space!"[5]
It was noted in a big reveal by the BBC on 24 September 2021 that Russell T Davies would make his return in the 60th anniversary in 2023 and remain as head writer in "series beyond".[6][7] Like the preceding series 13[8], the series was announced as happening before the previous series had even begun broadcast.
Also according to The Sun, Ryan Gosling - co-star to Ncuti Gatwa in the 2023 $1 billion dollar-grossing hit film Barbie - could have been cast in the series.[111]
