Ncuti Gatwa to Begin Filming on ‘Doctor Who’ in November

The newest Doctor isn’t set to make his official debut until 2024, however, it looks like Ncuti Gatwa will begin filming on Doctor Who rather soon. A new report from The Hollywood Reporter states the young actor will begin production on the next season of Doctor Who this November. That isn’t to say Gatwa won’t make an appearance in a special episode of Doctor Who before then. As it stands, Doctor Who is set to air a special episode this October as part of the BBC Centenary celebrations in which Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor will take her final bow after a four-year stunt. It’s possible Gatwa will appear in the episode with Whittaker’s Doctor regenerating into Gatwa’s Fourteenth Doctor. Or Gatwa could show up in the 60th-anniversary special set to air sometime next year. David Tennant, who served as the Tenth Doctor, is returning to reprise his role for the special, which could consist of as many as three episodes – although that hasn’t been confirmed just yet. The next few months will be incredibly busy for Gatwa. Not only is he taking over the role of Doctor Who, but the young actor is also set to return for Season 4 of Netflix’s Sex Education where he plays Eric. Production on Season 4 is now underway. He also recently wrapped on Greta Gerwig’s highly anticipated live-action Barbie movie, where he’ll star alongside his Sex Education co-star Emma Mackey. Season 14 of Doctor Who will air sometime in 2024. Source: THR.
