Series 13

Introduction:

A Thirteenth Series of Doctor Who is expected to start pre-production at the conclusion of Series 12 for a premiere in 2021. It will be preceded by the 2020 Christmas Special. 

Chris Chibnall has confirmed he will return as showrunner and it is highly likely Matt Strevens will return alongside him as an Executive Producer.

Series 13 was first confirmed in a TV deal with China allowing them first looks at at series 12th through to 15th. Jodie Whitakker confirmed that she was completing at least one more series as Thirteenth Doctor (taking her total up to three) at the premiere of Series 12 and Chibnall at the time of his appointment stated he had a bold five year plan for Doctor Who. 

In February 2020, producer Tracie Simpson suggested at a Gallifrey One event that shooting for Series 13 will start in September and in a similar article, the RadioTimes understands that filming is due to start in the Autumn with the view to start airing in 2021, however their are currently no confirmed dates.
