The BBC declined to comment on rumors about Whittaker, who became the 13th actor and the first woman to portray the Time Lord after having signed up to take on the beloved role in 2017. In response to the report, a BBC spokesperson said Variety that they would not comment on “any speculation about Jodie’s future on the show”.
Whittaker co-stars Bradley Walsh and Tosin Cole made their last appearances on the longtime series during the New Years special, Revolution of the Daleks, which also saw John Barrowman’s Captain Jack Harkness Returns, who was first introduced as a recurring guest character in Season 1 of the Doctor Who rebirth before facing off against the series spinoff Torchwood.
