Surprise departure from Doctor Who: Ncuti Gatwa leaves the series

A surprising development has taken place in the BBC's Doctor Who series, a legendary science fiction series that has been broadcast since 1963. Ncuti Gatwa, who debuted as the series' fifteenth Doctor in 2023, announced his departure from the project.

Speaking to the BBC, Gatwa stated that the role of the Doctor required a great deal of physical, emotional, and mental energy from him. In his statement, the renowned actor said:

"The role is very demanding physically, emotionally and mentally. Unfortunately, we are mortal beings. I wish I had enough energy to keep doing this for the rest of my life, but even my hamstrings are giving out now."

While news of Gatwa's departure has resonated heavily with Doctor Who fans, all eyes are now on who will take over the role of the 16th Doctor. The question of when the BBC will announce the new Doctor is already a matter of curiosity.
