'Doctor Who' Season 10: Goodbye, Steven Moffat; Showrunner Steps Down As Return Date Announced
Adios, Steven Moffat. Hello, Chris Chibnall.
'Doctor Who' Season 10: Could Eight Return? Paul McGann Speaks Out
After 6 seasons helming the TARDIS, Moffat will turn over the Doctor Who reigns to Broadchurch's Chibnall, according to the Radio Times.
Moffat took over the iconic series back in 2010, and the Sherlock creator will continue on as showrunner through season 10. Set to include 12 episodes, the tenth season will air in the spring of 2017 following a 2016 Christmas Special. It won't be long before the intense hiatus has Doctor Who fans begging for a TARDIS of their own.

"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," Moffat told Radio Times. "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."
A change over in Doctor Who shorwunners usually signals a regeneration. Peter Capaldi (Twelve) previously told fans season 10 could be his last, but the BBC has yet to confirm his departure.
