Series 11 (2018)

The eleventh series of the revived Doctor Who was broadcast on BBC One from the 7th October 2018-9th December 2018. It was the eleventh series to air since the show's revival in 2005, and the thirty seventh series to air overall. It is the first series to feature Jodie Whittaker as The Thirteenth Doctor, the first actress ever to play the role. The series was announced in 2017, when Peter Capaldi announced he would be leaving his role as The Twelfth Doctor.

Female Doctor

In January 2017, Peter Capaldi announced that he was leaving Doctor Who. Steven Moffat, who took over as showrunner in 2010, also announced he was leaving. Chris Chibnall was announced as the new showrunner, but now the hunt was on for the Thirteenth Doctor. Jodie Whittaker was announced, during the half time for the Wimbledon Men's Final, as the Thirteenth Doctor. There was an overwhelming response to the first female Doctor Who, but there was some negative feedback over the casting.
