Between Steven Moffat’s return and Matt Smith rumours, the only thing confirmed is Russell T Davies’ script for a Doctor Who Christmas special.
In an unexpected twist that has fans on the edge of their seats, former “Doctor Who” showrunner Steven Moffat is reportedly returning to the British sci-fi series for a Christmas special in 2024. This rumor, which comes from The Radio Times, suggests that Moffat has already made his vision a reality in this year’s Christmas special, which has been incredibly pre-filmed. The trigger for this speculation was Moffat’s era producer Alison Sterling’s CV update, when she mentioned her work on the upcoming special, raising the possibility of Moffat returning.
Return of the visionary
Moffat’s history is deep and rich, having served as showrunner from 2010 to 2017 and overseeing Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi’s tenure as the Doctor. In addition, Moffat contributed episodes of the first season of the series directed by Russell T Davies. What’s surprising is that this isn’t the first time rumors of his return have come to life, especially now that Davis is once again directing the series.
However, the BBC has remained completely silent on these speculations, leaving fans in a sea of doubt and anticipation. The entanglement between Moffat and Davies, confirmed in many ways by Davies’ Instagram account alongside Chris Chibnall’s, adds even more mystery to this meeting of the titans of British television.
Despite the anticipation of Moffat’s return, there are details that may debunk this rumour. In the year In 2022, Davies said he was writing the 2024 Christmas special himself, putting Moffat’s return in doubt. But Moffat’s return could be a clever misdirection that keeps fans a mystery.
New directions and new directions
Aside from the rumors about Moffat, the series has confirmed new talent behind the cameras. Amanda Brocchi and Makala McPherson star as doctors in Nkuti Gatwa’s first season, promising innovation and diversity in storytelling and direction. As the Doctor escapes his captors, McPherson watches in a special crane-shot scene that promises to be a visually arresting spectacle.
On the other hand, Brotchi, under Davies’ direction, celebrates the diversity of parts from world and voice to genre, praising the ambitious vision and sense of action, humor and emotion of “Doctor Who”. These developments reinforce the notion that each episode will be a cinematic experience in itself.
At the time of the announcement of the premiere program of the new season on Disney+, although it does not have an official date, and the opportunity to see Matt Smith return to the role of the Eleventh Doctor, “Doctor Who” is full of emotions, surprises and, perhaps, the return of his most influential architects. Fans are on the edge of their seats, waiting for confirmation and denying rumors, but most of all, they are eager to immerse themselves in the endless possibilities of the “Doctor Who” universe again.
