Following the season finale of Doctor Who, much of the conversation centered around Ncuti Gatwa’s departure and Billie Piper’s comeback, which meant Jodie Whittaker’s surprise return didn’t get as much attention. Now that some time has passed, the actress who played the Thirteenth Doctor has spoken about her experience revisiting the role. She shared what specifically made her happy about reprising her part, and also talked about the possibility of appearing in the show again sometime down the line.
Jodie Whittaker recently discussed a variety of subjects with The Times, including a surprising detail about her guest appearance in the Doctor Who episode, “The Reality War.” Although her return as The Doctor was short, the actress mentioned how reassuring it was that her original costume still fit her perfectly, just as it had when she filmed her regeneration scene:
I was really pleased my costume still fit! As soon as I arrived in Cardiff – the main place where we film – I immediately felt at home, even though it was a new studio and a different TARDIS. It’s simply pure joy being part of Doctor Who.
It’s wonderful to hear her positive thoughts on coming back to Doctor Who, considering all the challenges the show experienced during her time as The Doctor. I’m glad, as a fan, that she enjoyed being back and maybe finally received the appreciation and praise she deserved, which she didn’t always get while she was playing the role.
However, even though Jodie Whittaker had a wonderful experience, would she repeat it? Actually, Whittaker answered immediately, and I really appreciate her honesty:
If someone told me twenty years from now, ‘I’ve written a story and the Thirteenth Doctor returns,’ I wouldn’t even think twice. It’s pure joy. It’s simply wonderful.
It’s become common to hear David Tennant, Matt Smith, and Peter Capaldi carefully avoid directly answering if they’d return. So it’s great to hear Jodie Whittaker clearly state she’d be eager to come back to Doctor Who. Hopefully, the writers will remember this and find a way to include her in future episodes.

David Tennant, who famously played the Doctor in Doctor Who, had previously indicated he didn’t plan to return to the show. However, his recent statements are making me optimistic about the possibility of him reprising his role!
The most pressing question right now is probably when Doctor Who will return, since fans are eagerly awaiting news about a new season. There’s still uncertainty about Disney’s continued involvement as a co-producer, even though early reports suggested they were pulling back. Currently, it’s still possible that new episodes will be available to stream with a Disney+ subscription in the United States, but nothing is confirmed yet.
Honestly, the future of Who is a bit murky right now – we don’t know exactly *when* it’ll be back, or even *how*. But everything I’m hearing from people at the BBC suggests it *will* return eventually. And that makes total sense, right? It’s got such a rich history and is one of the few British shows that really resonates with audiences worldwide. I’m really hoping we get some good news soon, and maybe even a hint about whether Billie Piper will reprise her role as The Doctor. I’d also love to see Whittaker back at some point, too – fingers crossed on that one!

Disney+: starting at $9.99/month with ads
Disney+ is still the place to stream Doctor Who in the U.S., so fans won’t want to miss out! Monthly plans begin at $9.99, which gets you the plan that includes ads. For an ad-free experience, it’s $15.99 per month. Alternatively, you can save 16% by paying $159.99 upfront for an entire year. View Deal
Okay, so it looks like we might not be getting a new Doctor Who series in 2026, which is a bit of a bummer. But there *is* good news: the spinoff, The War Between the Land and the Sea, is slated for next year, and I’m really looking forward to it. Honestly, I’m hoping this new series will bring some much-needed energy back to the franchise and maybeevenconvinceDisneytogreenlightanotherseasonofthemainshow.
