On 6 November 2015, in interview with the Radio Times, Steven Moffat elaborated: "We're making a full series. I can confirm that I am making a full series of 12 episodes, plus a Christmas special.

On 23 April, it was announced via a short trailer titled "Friend From the Future" that the Doctor's new companion will be "Bill", played by Pearl Mackie.

Writers
The Radio Times reported Mark Gatiss was writing an episode for series 10, possibly a sequel to his series 9 episode, Sleep No More. Mark himself confirmed that on June 4, 2016 that he's writing an episode.

On 30 November Steven Moffat revealed Jamie Mathieson had "just been in and pitched a brilliant idea, a brilliant new monster."

Steven Moffat announced Series 10 would have "two writers who have never written Doctor Who before" and teased, "If I told you their names, your brain would explode."

Directors
In a video posted on his Facebook page, Peter Jackson teased that he might be directing an episode.

Filming
In 2015, production designer Michael Pickwoad said in an interview on the podcast Radio Free Skaro that work on the new series "won't start until well into the New Year", and that he expected to start filming in May. Peter Capaldi said filming would begin "sometime...next year."

On 2 February 2016, the Radio Times reported filming would begin in May 2016.

This proved not to be, as Peter Capaldi said at a Comic Con in Dallas on the 4th of June, "We start in 2 weeks.", making the start of filming around June 18.

To avoid online leaks, the production team used the codeword "Mean Town", an anagram of "Ten Woman", when talking about Bill, casting director Andy Pryor revealed to the Radio Times. This was a reference to the fact that Bill is the companion of series 10.
