DoctorWho spinoffs are coming, confirms returning showrunner Russell T Davies 👀😱 'I thought... it was time for the next stage for Doctor Who. I thought the streaming platforms are ready, the spin-offs are ready. I always believed in spin-offs...'
Returning Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies has finally confirmed spinoffs are officially in the works. The future is bright for Doctor Who, the world's longest-running science-fiction TV show. Davies - the man responsible for its 2005 relaunch - has returned as showrunner, with Ncuti Gatwa cast as the Fourteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson as new companion Ruby Sunday.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Davies has finally addressed rumors of Doctor Who spinoff shows head-on, confirming they really are in the works. Speaking to GQ Magazine, he says he believes it's time for the "next stage" of Doctor Who, something apparently only possible with a bigger budget. Check out Davies' full quote below:
"I thought — with no criticism whatsoever towards the people who were running it at the time, because they were running it within the BBC's measures — it was time for the next stage for Doctor Who. I thought the streaming platforms are ready, the spin-offs are ready. I always believed in spin-offs when I was there. I did Torchwood as a spin-off, The Sarah Jane Adventures as a spin-off. Those spin-offs declined when I left, and I can see why.
It's beginning to feel as though Davies' 2005 relaunch of Doctor Who should merely be considered the proof of concept, and his return is the vision fulfilled. In the same interview with GQ Magazine, Davies notes the inspiration for many of his projects goes back decades, and his vision for Doctor Who in particular was limited due to financial constraints. This suggests viewers should look back at Davies' first run, because the patterns will be the same.
Naturally, speculation so far has focused on whether Davies will indeed do spinoffs starring classic companions - Sophie Aldred's Ace, for example, or Sarah Sutton's Nyssa. But Torchwood serves as a warning that some of Davies' spinoffs will likely be entirely new, and completely unpredictable. Nobody would have anticipated Torchwood when Doctor Who returned in 2005, nor would viewers have ever guessed how important John Barrowman's Captain Jack would become.
