Just days after headlining the Doctor Who New Years Day special, a report is claiming that Jodie Whittaker has quit the long-running British sci-fi show.

For only the fourth time in its modern era history, the Doctor Who holiday special will not be airing on Christmas Day. We do get the gift of Captain Jack Harkness though!

The limits are gone, the mystery is back and we’ve got just as many questions as we do answers from that heavy info-dump of an episode which was leagues better than season 11’s finale about some sort of tooth monster named Tim. Just the way that Doctor Who is supposed to be.

After a huge stumbling debut season, Jodie Whittaker's Doctor Who tenure is finally getting great. And the actress is sticking around to continue this positive run!

One Christmas tradition you won’t see this year? A Doctor Who Christmas episode starring newly regenerated Time Lord Jodie Whittaker getting up to some kind of Yuletide mischief. For the first time since the series returned in 2005, Doctor Who is skipping its annual day in favour of something else: A New Year’s Day special. Or to be more precise: A Who’s Day special.

Montgomery, Alabama, 1955. The Doctor and her friends find themselves in the Deep South of America. As they encounter a seamstress by the name of Rosa Parks, they begin to wonder whether someone is attempting to change history.

Still reeling from their first encounter, can the Doctor and her new friends stay alive long enough, in a hostile alien environment , to solve the mystery of Desolation? And just who are Angstrom and Epzo?

With every regeneration of TV’s most iconic time traveller, there comes a fresh start for a franchise that has always managed to evolve and adapt with the times, as each incarnation of the Doctor has found themselves hurled into a new predicament just moments after they were reborn. This time, it’s Jodie Whitaker handling the stress of the post-regeneration haze, juggling multiple balls in the air.
