The Doctor Who showrunner says writing remains the same, but the effects are bigger than ever.
Doctor Who returns this Friday, ushering in a whole new era and not just because there's a new Doctor with Ncuti Gatwa stepping into the role of the Fifteenth Doctor . For the first time, the iconic sci-fi series is set to premiere on Disney+ and the BBC, with Disney's investment in the series meaning an increased budget. The new era also sees the return of showrunner Russell T. Davies, who was part of the series from 2005 to 2010 and returned in 2023 for the show's 60th anniversary.
He continued,"The main thing that's changed and especially with the bigger budget, with Disney+ is the effects, but that, that means they simply take longer and, and maybe we had some beautiful effects in the old days as well. But that's a longer process and I love learning that stuff. That's one of the reasons I came back was that I felt very out of touch with how to make modern special effects and telly. And I love that sort of telly. I like being on top of that sort of stuff.
"At last, it's my great delight to unleash a whole new season of the Doctor and Ruby's adventures together," Davies previously said in a statement."Monsters! Chases! Villains! Mysteries! And a terrifying secret that's been spanning time and space for decades. Don't miss a second!"
