After the surprising ending of the Doctor Who Season 2 (or is it Series 15?) finale The Reality War, in which Ncuti Gatwa regenerated into Billie Piper, fans have been left wondering what comes next. And with no further series yet commissioned – due reportedly to Disney’s reticence to hand over any more funding until after they have Season 2’s (or Season 41’s?) viewing figures – there seems to be no clear answer.

One possibility has emerged, thanks to an unnamed source speaking to The Sun and The Mirror (don’t be too sus about that – the tabloids’ sources have been correct in the past). Apparently, the Who producers are considering a special episode to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show’s return in 2005, which would reunite Billie Piper – who originally played Rose Tyler, now seemingly the Sixteenth Doctor – with David Tennant – who originally played the Tenth Doctor, followed by the Fourteenth. Isn’t Doctor Who continuity a delight?

Bringing Tennant back would mark his third return to the show after he originally left it in 2010, and would seem soon after his last return in 2023 for the 60th anniversary specials (in fact, the frequency with which he shows up was the subject of a joke near the end of The Reality War). But he does remain one of the more popular Doctors with fans and the wider viewing public, associated with a time when the show was at the height of its phenomenon.

Whatever happens next with Doctor Who, we know for sure that we have its latest spin-off, The War Between the Land and the Sea, to look forward to. Focusing on UNIT as they deal with a Sea Devil uprising, this five-part miniseries is expected to air later in 2025.
