BBC bosses expect Peter Capaldi to leave Doctor Who after the next series – when writer Steven Moffat also steps down.
The 57-year-old’s tenure as the 12th Doctor is likely to end in 2017. When
new chief Chris Chibnall, who created Broadchurch, begins a new era in
series 11, it is thought he will also get to choose his own Time Lord. A source on the BBC show said: “Bosses are already discussing a fresh start when Steven leaves."
“They’ve
been happy with what Peter has brought to the role but some think it
might make sense to give Chris his own choice of actor to play the
Doctor. They hope he will be able to find someone who can have the same impact
as Matt Smith did when Steven Moffat kicked off his run as executive
producer.”
