Speaking in the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine, Davies said that the show is “wilder than it’s ever been before” in a climactic storyline that is both “very epic” and also “very personal”.

Teasing what’s to come, he continued: “It takes some very unexpected turns… There are big surprises, from the Doctor and for the Doctor. Some of it shakes up the lore of Gallifrey. Some of it re-contextualises the Doctor, the Rani, and their relationship.”

Amid speculation about Doctor Who’s future beyond season 15, Davies describes the upcoming finale as a “full circle” moment for the latest era of the show, with the promise that he’s been “weaving in” elements from across Ncuti Gatwa’s tenure.

“Elements from [season 14 premiere] The Church on Ruby Road are even paid off. It’s rewarding for long-term fans but exciting for new viewers as well,” he added.
