Series 11 (Doctor Who)

Series 11

Series 11 of Doctor Who will premiere in 2018, helmed by new showrunner Chris Chibnall. It will also star Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth Doctor, the first woman to take the role.

On 16 July 2017, it was announced that Jodie Whittaker would take on the role of the Thirteenth Doctor, following Peter Capaldi's regeneration in series 10. Chibnall revealed, "I always knew I wanted the 13th Doctor to be a woman and we're thrilled to have secured our number one choice."

Whittaker herself stated, "I'm beyond excited to begin this epic journey [...] It's more than an honour to play the Doctor." "It feels completely overwhelming, as a feminist, as a woman, as an actor, as a human, as someone who wants to continually push themselves and challenge themselves, and not be boxed in by what you're told you can and can't be."

Peter Capaldi, Whittaker's predecessor, has full confidence that "she's going to be a fantastic Doctor". "Anyone who has seen Jodie Whittaker's work will know that she is a wonderful actress of great individuality and charm. She has above all the huge heart to play this most special part." Capaldi had previously expressed that he wants the next actor to take the role to finally be a woman.
