Former Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies has revealed brief descriptions of his possible future Doctors in a new novel.
Although Davies himself may have moved on to other projects, Doctor Who has continued on and recently announced that actress Jodie Whittaker would be the first woman to play the renegade Time Lord.
Davies’ descriptions are purely of his own imagining, rather than any sort of confirmation that the next person to play The Doctor will be a black woman.
It’s important to stress that these new Doctor Who novels are not replacing the canon established by the TV versions of their respective episodes.
