Sex Education fans rejoice! Ncuti Gatwa has been announced as the new Time Lord in Doctor Who. For three series and numerous specials, fans of the long-running show have immersed themselves in the adventures of the Jodie Whittaker’s 13th Doctor.
However in July 2021, the BBC revealed that the Journeyman star – who made history as the first female Time Lord – would be leaving the show after its 13th season.
Since that fateful day, rumours began to circulate on who would be stepping into the iconic role – which included Olly Alexander, T’Nia Miller, Omari Douglas, and Lydia West.
But after 10 long months of waiting, the BBC finally revealed that Gatwa would be the show’s high anticipated 14th Doctor. The 29-year-old has also made history as the first Black actor to play the titular role full time.
