Russell T Davies is returning to Doctor Who as the series’ showrunner.
Davies’ return will coincide with the show’s 60th anniversary in 2023 and he will remain as showrunner for future series.
Chibnall said: “It’s monumentally exciting and fitting that Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary will see one of Britain’s screenwriting diamonds return home.
It will also be Jodie Whittaker’s final outing as the Doctor, having played the Time Lord for three series.
