Doctor Who is set to reach the end of an era in the very near future, when series star Jodie Whittaker and showrunner Chris Chibnall will depart from the beloved BBC series. Whittaker made history as the first woman to play the franchise’s titular role, and fans are enjoying her final adventures during the currently-airing Flux season. Thanks to new tweets from the official Doctor Who Twitter account, we now know when Whittaker’s swan song for The Doctor will officially occur. As the thread reveals, Whittaker’s final episode will air in the Fall of 2022 to coincide with the BBC Centenary celebrations, providing fans with an “epic blockbuster special will see the Doctor fight evil across the galaxy one last time but just who will she come up against in her final battle before the Doctor regenerates once more.”
