As Capaldi departs Doctor Who, so too does showrunner Steven Moffat, with Broadchurch showrunner and Doctor Who writer, Chris Chibnall, taking his place.
Viewers must trust that Chibnall and the BBC have cast the best actor in the role and hopefully, Doctor Who will thrive with Whittaker as the Doctor.
Doctor Who will return to BBC America and BBC 1 at Christmas.
The thirteenth Doctor has been officially confirmed as Broadchurch‘s Jodie Whittaker.
