Doctor Who’s Eighth Doctor, Paul McGann, who originally only appeared in one feature-length film as his time as the iconic character was cut short, is now reportedly set to star in his own Doctor Who spinoff series for the franchise.According to The Mirror, a prominent newspaper in the UK, the Liverpool-born McGann is reportedly a favorite of Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies, who wants to give the actor a proper chance to shine in the role. McGann starred in the 1996 television film titled Doctor Who, which was a co-production between BBC and Universal, as well as an ultimately failed attempt to revive the popularity of the franchise after the original series was canceled a few years prior. As that film didn’t have the impact that the BBC would have hoped for, the Doctor Who franchise became dormant afterward until 2005, when the reboot continuation began with Christopher Eccelston. McGann has made some appearances as the Doctor since, such as in last year’s Season 13 finale titled “Power of the Doctor,” but these new rumors suggests he will return in a more prominent capacity moving forward.Part of the initial wave of announcements that followed the news that Russell T Davies would return to the series, years after he was the showrunner of the Christopher Eccelston and David Tennant eras, were the plans of a Doctor Who universe of sorts, called the Whoniverse. The BBC and Davies confirmed that this would include spin-off shows that would connect with the mainline Doctor Who story, and would expand the world and universe of the series to a greater scale than fans have ever seen before.Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor Who Era Will Be Labeled As Season One
