“Doctor Who” showrunner Steven Moffat will exit the series after Season 10.
Chris Chibnall, who served as a writer on the BBC sci-fi series and created the network’s “Broadchurch,” will assume the role going forward.
The news was announced through the show’s official Twitter account on Friday.
“Feels odd to be talking about leaving when I’m just starting work on the scripts for season 10, but the fact is my timey-wimey is running out. While Chris is doing his last run of ‘Broadchurch,’ I’ll be finishing up on the best job in the universe and keeping the TARDIS warm for him,” Moffat said in statement to TheWrap from BBC America.
