Real World

This section includes announced and surmised events in the future; dates, events, and titles are subject to change. This section may also include spoilers.

• The 5th series of Doctor Who is scheduled for broadcast this year, consisting of 13 episodes with Steven Moffat taking over from Russell T Davies as executive producer, and Matt Smith taking over the role of the Doctor from David Tennant. Filming for the season began in July 2009, and is expected to carry over into 2010 per the precedent of previous seasons.
• Assuming it is renewed, production of Series 6 of Doctor Who will presumably begin in the second half of 2010, for broadcast in 2011.
• Presumably the 2009 specials will receive DVD release in a box set in early 2010, after the broadcast of David Tennant's final special. However the announcement in May 2009 that DW: Planet of the Dead and DW: The Next Doctor are to be released on their own both in the UK and North America has called this into question.
• Broadcast of the first season of the spin-off series K-9 is expected to continue into 2010 in its country of production, Australia. Broadcast plans for elsewhere in the world have yet to be announced.
• BBC America is expected to broadcast the final three David Tennant specials at some point after their UK showing, meaning likely early 2010.[1]

Early 2010

• According to media reports in October 2008, the final "gap year" special episode of Doctor Who may not be broadcast until early 2010, contradicting earlier reports that they would all air in 2009. This final special, whenever it airs, will be the last under the watch of producers Russell T Davies and Julie Gardner and the last to feature David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor; it is not yet known whether the actor chosen to play the Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith will appear in the special as well.
• In March 2009 it was learned via a Russell T Davies interview in SFX Magazine that the final three specials of the gap year would air around "Christmas/late 2009".[2] As the exact airdates have yet to be announced as of August 2009, a New Year's Day broadcast is possible for the final special, entitled DW: The End of Time.

January

• Scheduled publication of the second edition of The Writer's Tale by Russell T Davies and Benjamin Cook.

• 26 - Fifth anniversary of the return of Doctor Who to television.

April

• The Canadian cable network Space is scheduled to take over the Canadian broadcast licence for the 2007 Christmas special DW: Voyage of the Damned from the CBC, officially ending the CBC's association with the Doctor Who franchise.
