BBC Reveals First Female 'Doctor Who' Lead
The BBC on Sunday revealed Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor for hit series
Doctor Who.
According to Hollywood Reporter, She will be the first female lead for the sci-fi series on the U.K. public
broadcaster. Current lead Peter
Capaldi will leave his role after this year's Christmas special.
The BBC had on Friday announced that it would unveil the new Doctor after the
men's Wimbledon final, taking fans by surprise. Among the various names thrown
out by bookies as contenders for the Doctor Who lead role have been the likes of
Fleabag creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Death in Paradise actor Kris
Marshall and even Tilda Swinton.
Capaldi first stepped into the Tardis in 2013 and is set to leave at the same
time as showrunner Steven Moffat exits the show.
Earlier this year, Pearl Mackie was tapped to play the first
openly gay companion to the space-hopping doc.
