Doctor Who 14
The fourteenth series of Doctor Who premiered on 11 May 2024. It is the fifth series led by Russell T Davies as head writer and executive producer, having previously worked on it from 2005 to 2010.
This series was the fourteenth to air following the programme’s revival in 2005 and is the fortieth season overall. The fourteenth series was announced with Davies’ return to the programme for its 60th anniversary in 2023 and beyond, with Bad Wolf becoming a co-producer for the series.
The series is referred to in marketing and promotional material as “Season One” following the production changes and the acquisition of Doctor Who‘s international broadcasting rights by Disney+. The series stars Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor, a new incarnation of the Doctor.
The Fifteenth Doctor was introduced in “The Giggle” (2023) through a “bi-generation”, in which he split from his predecessor, the Fourteenth Doctor (David Tennant), rather than replacing him. The series also introduced Millie Gibson as the Doctor’s newest companion, Ruby Sunday.
The series, which was preceded by a Christmas episode on 25 December 2023, consists of eight episodes, which have been directed by Julie Anne Robinson, Ben Chessell, Dylan Holmes Williams, and Jamie Donoughue. Alongside Davies, who wrote six of the episodes, the writers included Kate Herron, Briony Redman, and former showrunner and head writer Steven Moffat. Filming began in December 2022 and concluded in July 2023, with production having moved to Wolf Studios Wales.
