Series 10 of Doctor Who was revealed in the BBC Worldwide Annual Review on 14 July 2015: "During the year matters under review included plans to launch the global genre brands BBC First in Australia and New Zealand on Foxtel and BBC Brit and BBC Earth in Poland; and investments in The Musketeers S3 and Doctor Who S10."[1] On 6 November 2015, in interview with the Radio Times, Steven Moffat elaborated: "We're making a full series. I can confirm that I am making a full series of 12 episodes, plus a Christmas special. I don't know when it goes out. That is up to someone else."[2]
Moffat also said that "Peter Capaldi is going nowhere".[3] He teased the possible return of Missy.[4]
Only a Christmas special will air in 2016, with the rest of the series beginning broadcast in spring 2017. The tenth series will be Moffat's final series as showrunner, after which Chris Chibnall will take on the role. [5]
Moffat confirmed an extra episode to the Daily Record on 4 February 2016: "I have fourteen Doctor Whos and three Sherlock films." [6]
The Radio Times stated that as of 8 February 2016, auditions for Jenna Coleman's replacement had not started yet.[7] On 23 April, it was announced via a short trailer titled "Friend From the Future"[8] that the Doctor's new companion will be "Bill", played by Pearl Mackie. Mackie described her character as "wicked" and "cool, strong, sharp, a little bit vulnerable with a bit of geekiness thrown in".[9]
