“ Doctor Who is the ultimate BBC program: bold, unique, vastly entertaining and adored all around the world,” said Chibnall. Chibnall’s debut Doctor Who season will launch in 2018.

At the start of season 11, Chris Chibnall will become the new showrunner of Doctor Who. It took a lot of gin and tonic to talk him into this, but I am beyond delighted that one of the true stars of British television drama will be taking the Time Lord even further into the future. “While Chris is doing his last run of Broadchurch, I’ll be finishing up on the best job in the universe and keeping the TARDIS warm for him. “Feels odd to be talking about leaving when I’m just starting work on the scripts for season 10, but the fact is my timey-wimey is running out,” Moffat said. Moffat also was behind the 50th Anniversary special in 2013.
During his tenure, he introduced the 11th and 12th doctors, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi, along with two companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Clara Oswald (Jenna Coleman) and iconic characters and monsters including River Song (Alex Kingston), Missy (Michelle Gomez), Rory Pond (Arthur Darvill) and the terrifying Weeping Angels. Moffat has been at the helm of the series since Season 5 in 2010. The news was revealed on the show’s Twitter feed and confirmed by BBC America. UPDATED with details throughout: Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat is stepping down as head writer and executive producer of the hit series after the upcoming Season 10, and Broadchurch EP Chris Chibnall will be taking over the reins.
