If you’re missing the Doctor Who universe being on your screen, the BBC has a new spinoff arriving soon. There’s a chance that Moffat will be pulling out all the stops for his final season, but a clean slate of new Doctor, companion, and showrunner would give Doctor Who a chance to shine once more. While Capaldi’s acting has been praised, he’s not really ingratiated himself with an audience - perhaps in part because the writing has been considerably weaker in recent seasons. In a show that has suffered badly from dwindling ratings, the arrival of Chibnall really could give the BBC the chance to make their show great again. Yes, that’s right, Mackie might only last for one season. If recent reports are to be believed, the BBC want Chibnall to take over Doctor Who with an entirely clean slate, meaning a new Doctor and a new companion.
Then came Capaldi’s revelation that he has been asked to stay on past season 10, and though he didn’t say whether he’d accepted or not, Moffat said he had no reason to assume he was writing out a Doctor at the end of season 10. The actor himself has said that he knows he can’t last forever, and hinted that the time might be coming where he had to say goodbye, so everything was pointing in that direction. It made logical sense by the end of season 10, Capaldi will have been the Doctor for three seasons, the same length of time as David Tennant and Matt Smith. There's no word yet who might be replacing Capaldi as the thirteenth incarnation of the Doctor, but one thing's for sure: his unique interpretation of the character will definitely be missed.The talk of whether Capaldi might exit the show at the same time as Moffat has been rumbling ever since the showrunner announced his departure. Season 10 is his last as showrunner, and Broadchurch writer Chris Chibnall will be taking over for the 2018 season. He announced back in January 2016 (months before Season 10 began filming) that he is stepping down as the show's lead writer and executive producer. Steven Moffat, who has been the Doctor Who showrunner for the past six seasons, is also departing.

Season 10 of Doctor Who is a major creative turning point for the long-running British sci-fi series in more ways than one - because Capaldi isn't alone in departing. "From our brilliant crew and creative team working for the best broadcaster on the planet, to the viewers and fans whose endless creativity, generosity and inclusiveness points to a brighter future ahead. "One of the greatest privileges of being Doctor Who is to see the world at its best," Capaldi said during an appearance on Jo Whiley's BBC Radio 2 show. The Twelfth Doctor will be leaving the show after the tenth season, as he announced back in January, before the current season began airing. Unfortunately, after those episodes air, it'll be time to say farewell to Peter Capaldi as the Doctor.

This means viewers have just under half a season (five episodes, plus the 2017 Christmas special) left. That episode total doesn't include last year's Christmas Day special "The Return of Doctor Mysterio" or the 2017 Christmas Day special set to air later this year ( set to be directed by Rachel Talalay, who's directed the finales of Season 8 and 9 as well as the critically-acclaimed Season 9 episode "Heaven Sent"). Of those 12 episodes, seven have aired so far, with the season beginning on April 15. Like Season 9, Doctor Who's tenth season is 12 episodes long, as is typical for the long-running show (and other British series, which generally have far shorter seasons than their American counterparts).
Now that the newest batch of episodes is airing, fans are already wondering: How many episodes is Doctor Who Season 10? The 12-episode ninth season wrapped up in late 2015, and the tenth (Capaldi's third season in the lead role) didn't even begin filming until June of the following year. When no new season of Doctor Who aired in 2016 (save a solitary Christmas special episode), Whovians were basically up in arms at the lack of everybody's favorite Time Lord in their lives.
