io9 sat down Doctor Who's returning showrunner to talk bringing the series to Disney, his approach to telling queer stories, and reuniting with Steven Moffat.
Russell T Davies may have already returned to Doctor Who with its 60th anniversary specials, but a new, full season of the show brings with it myriad opportunities. Doctor Who ’s latest relaunch is no exception: a new Doctor, a new companion, new adventures, and perhaps in the biggest change of all, a new home beyond the UK’s borders on Disney+. Those aforementioned specials broadcast simultaneously on the Disney streamer alongside their terrestrial broadcast on the BBC in the UK.
” Another aspect of Davies’ past in television that now gets to influence his new work on Doctor Who is elevating queer storylines. Much has already been made of incoming Doctor Ncuti Gatwa’s gender-defying sense of style impacting the Time Lord’s latest aesthetic, but the series goes beyond just nice clothes, casually framing queer characters and stories into its world, even if not necessarily always centering them .
