OMG talk about shocking news. I knew that there were be casting news for Doctor Who soon as Jodie Whittaker was finishing her time as the Doctor. There’s been speculation as to who would be chosen but I don’t anyone had this on their rumor list. Ncuti is simply amazing in all three seasons of Netflix’s Sex Education. His laugh is just so infectious.

Here’s hoping Ncuti finds continued success like his co-star from Sex Education, Simone Ashley, who is currently starring in season 2 of Netflix’s hit show Bridgerton.

The new Doctor Who has been unveiled, and it’s “Sex Education” star Ncuti Gatwa.

Gatwa takes over from Jodie Whittaker, who has played the iconic role since 2017. The actor’s departure was revealed in July 2021 and there’s been widespread speculation ever since around who will be replacing her, with rumored names including “It’s a Sin” stars Olly Alexander and Lydia West, and even Michaela Coel.

The BBC confirmed Gatwa’s casting on Sunday afternoon, local time, just hours before the taping of the BAFTA TV Awards, suggesting there could be some reference to “Doctor Who” during the ceremony. Gatwa is expected to be in attendance, according to a list of expected guests provided by BAFTA last week.
