Both writers have made their mark as creatives, Kate as the Executive Producer and director of the entirety of series one of the popular Marvel Studio’s series LOKI, as well as directing on the critically acclaimed series SEX EDUCATION.
Briony is an actor, comedian and BAFTA Rocliffe winning writer, whose work includes the Welsh crime-comedy PONT BREC with Damian Evans, and the award-winning short film FORGET-ME-NOT, which screened across film festivals internationally.
The pair have collaborated on a range of work together including their comic, THE STORKENING, as well as TV and film projects including the sci-fi MISS UNIVERSE and the acclaimed short film SMEAR.
Now they have teamed up once more to take viewers on an unforgettable adventure in the new series of Doctor Who.
Kate Herron said:
“Clearly I can’t get enough of time travel. It is an absolute honour to write for Russell and Ncuti. We had so much fun and can’t wait for you all to see it.”
Doctor Who returns in November 2023 with three special episodes with David Tennant as the Fourteenth Doctor to coincide with the 60th anniversary. Ncuti Gatwa’s first episode as the Fifteenth Doctor will then air over the festive period.
Doctor Who will premiere exclusively on the BBC for the UK and Ireland. Disney+ will be the exclusive home for new seasons of Doctor Who outside of the UK and Ireland.
