Russell T. Davies Will Return to 'Doctor Who' for 60th Anniversary and Beyond
File this under things I never thought I'd see happen, but I guess you truly can sometimes go home again. Former showrunner Russell T. Davies - the man responsible for modern-day Doctor Who as we know it - is returning to the TARDIS for the show's 60th anniversary. (And beyond.)
Sure, Davies was probably not on anyone's shortlist to replace outgoing showrunner Chris Chibnall. But that's likely because none of us thought such a thing was possible. He'd already done the job! The RTD era was over, and he'd moved on to other things, producing buzzy, critically acclaimed dramas like Years and Years and It's a Sin. Impossible things and all that, I suppose.
The BBC announced earlier this summer that Chibnall would be departing the show, along with Thirteenth Doctor Jodie Whittaker in 2022, following Season 13 of the show and a trio of specials that would take us through Thirteen's regeneration.
