Whittaker appeared in the final minutes of “Twice Upon a Time,” right after Peter Capaldi took his final bow after playing the character for the last four years. “Oh, brilliant,” Whitaker mutters before being thrown into space. The special ended with a very exciting text: “To be continued.”
Whittaker will be leading the show’s eleventh season, which will also see Chris Chibnall step into the roles of executive producer and head writer. Watch Whitaker’s debut in the video below.
