During an interview with SFX Magazine at the end of August, Doctor Who Showrunner Russell T. Davies had this to share about the future of the Ncuti Gatwa (Fifteenth Doctor), Millie Gibson (Ruby Sunday), and Varada Sethu (Belinda Chandra)-starring series. "It's an industry decision; it's like any business – these things take time. I think the decision will come after the transmission of season two. That's what we're expecting, that's what we've always been heading towards." Davies' comment was in response to rumblings on social media during the weeks prior, speculating that somehow Disney wasn't happy with its deal with the BBC and Bad Wolf. Flashing ahead a little more than a month, it appears we now have an answer about Season 3/Season 16. While it might now be an official confirmation, it comes from a pretty reliable source – Gatwa.

During a visit to The Graham Norton Show (set to hit screens later today and first reported by RadioTimes.com), Gatwa revealed that the team begins filming Season 3/Season 16 will commence in 2025. Joining Zoe Saldaña and Selena Gomez (Emilia Pérez), Miranda Hart (I Haven't Been Entirely Honest with You), Kevin Kline (Disclaimer), and Rag 'n' Bone Man in support of his run in the National Theatre's production of The Importance of Being Earnest, Gatwa had this to share when asked for a Doctor Who update: "It is all going well. We did the second series this year, the Christmas special is coming up, and we are filming a third series next year."
