Steven Moffat is officially stepping down after Series 10 premieres in 2017, and will be replaced by Doctor Who writer and Broadchurch showrunner Chris Chibnall.
I have to admit, I’m more conflicted than I expected to be. I’ve definitely not been the biggest fan of Moffat’s tenure as Showrunner, and have taken issue with some of his comments along the way. But I had been pretty optimistic about where the show was headed after Series 8, and I absolutely loved Series 9.
Love him or hate him, you can’t help but admit it’s the end of an era.
So now we get Chris Chibnall. I’ve liked most of the work he’s done for Doctor Who, and I really loved Broadchurch, so I’m curious to see what he’s planning to do with the show!For now, we’ve got one long year without any new Doctor Who on TV, and one final series with Moffat at the helm. How do all feel about Moffat leaving, and are you excited to see Chibnall take over as showrunner?
