Of the upcoming eight episodes, six have been written by showrunner Russell T Davies, while one has been written by former showrunner Steven Moffat<\/a>.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the sixth episode, Rogue, has been crafted by the writing team of Kate Herron and Briony Redman, and in a recent interview with Men\u2019s Journal<\/a>, Davies explained how they came on board.<\/p>\n \u201cI hugely admire Kate Herron\u2019s work on Loki<\/a>. Obviously, I wanted women writing, and I\u2019m aware that we haven\u2019t got enough women writing or writers of colour, which we\u2019re fixing in the next series to come.<\/p>\n \u201cKate and I made contact over Loki, and she then introduced me to Briony, who might not be so well known unless you move in comedy circles \u2013 where in improv and stand-up she\u2019s a legend \u2013 and they just bring their own style.\u201d<\/p>\n Based on this, it certainly sounds like it will be a more diverse writing team that has crafted the already-in-production season 15, perhaps with Davies writing fewer of the episodes himself.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n If this is the case, this would follow a similar pattern to Davies\u2019s first era of the show, where he wrote eight of the 13 episodes for season 1, but only five of 13 for each of seasons 2, 3 and 4.<\/p>\n Herron and Redman\u2019s episode, Rogue, will see the Doctor and Ruby travelling back in time to the Regency era, where they meet new characters played by Jonathan Groff<\/a> and Indira Varma<\/a>.<\/p> Stars Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson recently called it their favourite episode<\/a> of the upcoming season, with Gibson saying: \u201cWe had Jonathan Groff in it, for God\u2019s sake! It was incredible. Just so many things happen in that episode. It\u2019s filled with so much.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Gatwa added: \u201cIt captured the cheekiness\u2026 they both [the Doctor and Ruby] go off and have these separate scandals, which was a lot of fun!\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Jonathan](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/04\/431107-331e5e6.jpg?quality=90&resize=620%2C413\" "\\"Jonathan")
