Doctor Who Series 12: Everything We Know So Far

7. The Main Cast (And Showrunner) Are All Returning

Starting out with an obvious but still important piece of information, Series 12 will see the return of core cast members Jodie Whittaker, Bradley Walsh, Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill, as well as Chris Chibnall as showrunner and head writer.

The BBC confirmed all of this shortly after The Battle Of Ranskoor Av Kolos - the Series 11 finale - aired in December last year. There was actually some speculation among fans that one of the companions might die/leave the TARDIS in that episode (or in the New Year's Day special), but, clearly, that didn't happen.

In terms of the rest of the cast and crew (that we know about), writers Ed Hime (It Takes You Away) and Nina Metivier (Series 11's script editor) will pen an episode each, while Doctor Who newcomers Jamie Stone, Emma Sullivan and Lee Haven Jones are on directing duties.
