Chris Chibnall, showrunner and ministerial make of Doctor Who, was discovered that the favourite sci-fi show’s upcoming season 13 will be exactly one floor. Doctor Who firstly premiere on BBC One in 1963 and ran until 1989, before being relaunched in 2005. The long-running show occupies a reverenced situate in British television history and has a cult following all regions of the world.

Traditionally, the Doctor faces a brand-new adventure each week. However, during a virtual committee for Comic-Con International( via Digital Spy ), Chibnall revealed that season 13 of Doctor Who will take a step back from the show’s normal sporadic nature and tell “a bigger story” of which each chapter will be “a chapter.” According to Chibnall, filming during the course of its pandemic is “very much not a business-as-usual time” and so a decision had to be made about how best are progressing.

“I can tell you that probably the large-hearted thing that we’re gonna be doing this year is that it’s all one narrative, so every incident is a chapter in a bigger story, so we’ve altered the form of the succession for this year.

It’s very much not a business-as-usual time, and I suppose the challenges of coming the show up and running, because of the times when, before we are beginning stimulating it, we didn’t know we’d be able to make the appearance – because of the conditions this year – so everybody’s pulled together to utter that possible and so what we’ve done is – well, there were two ways we could go.

You could go, ‘We’re just going to do lots of tiny occurrences in one room with no monsters.’ Or we can throw down the gauntlet and travel, ‘We’re gonna do the biggest story we’ve ever done, and we’re going to go to all kinds of different places, we’re gonna have all kinds of reputations and monsters, and it’s all gonna be part of a bigger whole.’”

Chibnall went on to say that he conceives the upcoming season is “epic” and “definitely the most ambitious thing we’ve done, ” with which Whittaker concurred. Chibnall also shared that there will be “a number of amazing guest actors” this season, and that “quite a few of them reappear across various escapades, which is very unusual for this show.” One of those guest actors will be Game of Thrones actor Jacob Anderson as a brand-new reference announced Vinder. Other than these delicacies, Chibnall was understandably tight-lipped about area details.

Though it is a departure from the show’s usual design, Chibnall’s decision to use season 13 to tell a singular long storey is a wise one. Season 12 of Doctor Who stunned devotees by revealing that the Doctor is not in fact a Time Lord, but is instead the Timeless Child, the inception of all the Time Lords’ regenerative abilities. What exactly this mean for the Doctor moving forward remains to be seen, but it’s certainly something that the Doctor – and the show itself – will have to spend some time dealing with, and it’s likely that season 13 will do exactly that. A season full of one-off escapades would no doubt feel less important and compelling to onlookers than one that supposes with the Doctor’s new to improve understanding of their identity. Doctor Who will return in late 2021.
