10 Exciting Theories And Rumours About Doctor Who Season 14

2. We Won't See 14 Straight Away

Following on from the last theory, this one speaks for itself.

There has been a lot of secrecy surrounding the casting of the 14th Doctor. It’s left fans wondering if it really is secrecy or if it just hasn’t happened yet. Jodie Whittaker filmed her regeneration months ago at this point. Normally, pickups and a new Doctor’s first scene would have been filmed by now, even in secret. With Jodie’s regeneration allegedly taking place outside the TARDIS, that makes it even harder to film without being spotted, so it has been speculated that it will be an open-ended, mid-regeneration cliffhanger.

Fans are holding out hope for a Doctor reveal after the Easter Special, Legend of the Sea Devils, but it’s not looking promising because every occasion fans have guessed, has passed without event. We can still keep our fingers crossed for Easter Sunday but it’s looking increasingly unlikely as the BBC would probably favour a trailer for the centenary special instead.

With so little information, and filming speculated to start soon, it’s left fans wondering if we might get a series without 14 until later on, or even the end which leads onto the last point...
