Whittaker follows in the footsteps of actors Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi who have played Doctor Who since its revival in 2005. The actress most recently appeared in Paddy Considine's critically acclaimed boxing drama Journeyman.

The new series will also be the first made without the presence of showrunner Steven Moffat since 2010. Its female incarnation will be first led by Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall.

The 11th season will premiere in October 2018.
