Doctor Who Season 3 Quote Removed On BBC’s Graham Norton Show

Update: 

A significant segment of an interview with Ncuti Gatwa regarding the future of Doctor Who Season 3 has been omitted in the most recent episode of The Graham Norton Show, renewing fears among the Doctor Who fanbase that all might not be right with the long-running sci-fi series. 

As originally reported by The Radio Times and FlickLuster on October 11, the Sex Education actor revealed on the chat show that “all is going well” with Season 3.

“We did the second series this year, the Christmas special is coming up, and we are filming a third series next year.”

Original story: 

Ncuti Gatwa has provided a long-awaited update on the state of Doctor Who beyond 2025. A 2024 Christmas Special, penned by Steven Moffat, will grace our screens this festive season, followed by Season 15, Gatwa’s second as the Time Lord, in 2025. Beyond that, Whovians around the world have waited nervously for news. 

While the sci-fi series, which celebrated its 60th anniversary in November last year, has yet to be renewed for Season 16, Gatwa’s optimism should alleviate fan fears that the show could face the dreaded axe. 

In September, showrunner Russell T Davies shared a slightly different opinion on the third season, suggesting no decisions would be made until the second season had been broadcast.

“That’s what we’re expecting, that’s what we’ve always been heading towards,” the Years and Years creator wrote. 

Doctor Who is still scheduled to return on Christmas Day with the 2024 Christmas Special, Joy to the World. A back catalog of Doctor Who and associated spinoffs, from The Sarah Jane AdventuresTorchwood, to Class, is available to stream via the BBC iPlayer.
