According to ScreenRant, Russell T Davies (The Church On Ruby Road, It’s a Sin) showrunner, of Disney+’s Doctor Who, reveals plans for future seasons of the series. Davies spoke with Parade about the upcoming future for the series even with reports of it possibly going on hiatus. He explained his vision for the series, and if he is allowed to continue forward with the franchise, as he had planned to stay on the series for four to five seasons.

In the interview with Parade Davies said, “We’ll always look ahead to the future if we get the chance to keep running. I’ve got ideas. ‘I think I’ll do that near season 4 or 5.’ And that’s always the way I’ve worked on things. So yes, I could promise you amazing stuff at the end of season 4. There are things we’ve already mentioned that are going to bear fruit a long time into the future. So that’s just the fun of it. That’s the fun of Doctor Who. But, to say again, it’s the pit stops along the way.”

Doctor Who is a British science fiction series that spans multiple seasons and storylines. The series follows the Doctor, an alien who travels through time and space on different adventures to fight evil. The Doctor is always played by a different individual depending on the season. Currently, Ncuti Gatwa (Masters of the Air, Sex Education) takes on the role of the 16th Doctor in the series.

As per ScreenRant, Davies originally led the series for four seasons from 2005-2009, and then was brought back in 2023 to oversee its newest installment. The showrunner even brought back previous series alum David Tenant (Good Omens, Marvel’s Jessica Jones)  into the new installments. Tennant took on the role of the 10th Doctor in the series in 2005 and has been brought back many times for story plots between two Doctors.

The new season of Doctor Who is available to stream on Disney+.
