The show’s official Twitter account shared the news today, writing: “The future is here! Ncuti Gatwa is the Doctor.”, will become the 14th Doctor of the series and the first black actor to play the role.
“Russell T Davies is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself and being able to work with him is a dream come true. His writing is dynamic, exciting, incredibly intelligent and fizzing with danger. An actor’s metaphorical playground.
Ncuti Gatwa will slay as the next Doctor in Doctor Who!
I haven’t heard anyone complain yet, but I don’t understand why a franchise with such a cool idea as reincarnation built into the character WOULDN’T take advantage of that and make the character very different now and then. They already had a huge range in ages from the beginning
so flavor of the month woman black gay got to cover all the bases DrWho
Nice one ❤
Not a Doctor Who dude myself, but Eric from Sex Education is great.
Diversity hire.
Not watched it for two years now, this and RTD may peek my curiosity to return
At least its not a woman anymore

From Sex Education to Barbie to Dr. Who It’s no wonder he’s jumping for joy! Congratulations Ncuti
The character’s name is The Doctor, not Doctor Who. The show is called Doctor Who, not the character. DoctorWho

Great. I hope he gets better lines and plot than what they gave Jodie. She had the potential to be great but because of the material she was given her run was less than meh.
Cool, I would have expected some one older but cool.
Am excited for this
