Jodie Whittaker will return as Doctor Who for Season 13. The star of the BBC series has confirmed she will hop aboard the TARDIS for at least another season.
“Yes, I’m doing another season,” she told Entertainment Weekly, when asked if she would return. “That might be a massive exclusive that I’m not supposed to say, but it’s unhelpful for me to say [I don’t know] because it would be a massive lie! [Laughs] I absolutely adore it. At some point, these shoes are going to be handed on, but it’s not yet. I’m clinging on tight!”
Whittaker began her tenure as the 13th Doctor in Season 11. The BBC series’ 12th season is currently airing, with six more episodes to go. While an actor’s tenure as the Doctor can vary, both Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi -- who starred as the Eleventh and Twelfth Doctor respectively -- stayed on for three seasons each.
Doctor Who stars Jodie Whittaker as the 13th iteration of the titular Time Lord. Whittaker is joined by co-stars Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill in a series spearheaded by showrunner Chris Chibnall. The next episode is set to air on the BBC on Jan. 26. The new season and all previous 11 seasons will stream on HBO Max later this year.
