Everything We Know About Doctor Who Season 3
5. Season 3 Isn’t The ONLY One Russell T Davies Has Planned
Speaking of ol' Rusty and his plans for the future, it's not just Season 3 that he’s got mapped out on his living room wall, and it sounds like he definitely wants to stick around if he has his way.
In a recent interview with Parade he said:
"We'll always look ahead to the future if we get the chance to keep running. I've got ideas. 'I think I'll do that near Season 4 or 5.' And that's always the way I've worked on things. So yes, I could promise you amazing stuff at the end of Season 4. There are things we've already mentioned that are going to bear fruit a long time into the future. So that's just the fun of it. That's the fun of Doctor Who."
And going back even further (to November 2023), RTD revealed that "there are plans for Season 4", indicating that his vision for the Fifteenth Doctor was a lot grander than the two seasons we ended up getting.
It does make you wonder what we might be missing out on now that the situation has clearly changed. Were Ruby and Belinda intended to stick around for Seasons 3 and 4? In which of those seasons was "The Boss" going to be paid off? And were the Master and the Daleks a part of his plans?
Alas, we may never know for sure. Here’s hoping for another tell-all edition of The Writer’s Tale at some point in the future!
