Since Bad Wolf Studios have been acquired by Sony, it means that their potential is absolutely out of this world. We’ve all seen what Bad Wolf are capable of with gorgeous big-budget drama like His Dark Materials, and that was before the Sony acquisition.

With Sony’s involvement, this would likely mean that there could be a better budget. There have already been rumours of Doctor Who eyeing up new technology like that used in The Mandalorian. The enormous 360 degree screens can help make alien planets and various other locations that it might be cost too much to to build fully, and as we know, it looks amazing!

Whatever the budget, Russell must be in a very creatively comfortable position to return. Judging from The Writer’s Tale, the behind the scenes look at making season 4, it seemed like he was very happy to end his era when he did. Trying to tell such enormous stories with a small budget must have been practically impossible. Still, it all seems like the stars have aligned perfectly for Russell to make the big comeback that the world deserves.

Excitingly, an unnamed TV insider, explained: "With the utmost respect to the BBC, in the past attempts like Torchwood were made on a very limited budget in locations around Wales. Now the world is Russell’s oyster.”
