Season 56 - 2021

Image
  Season 56 of Doctor Who aired from November 7th 2021 for six episodes, the season  was initially scheduled to air in the first half of 2021 and consist of 8 episodes with an entirely different story arc. The season was postponed until mid- to late-2021, when it was thought that Covid had sufficiently subsided, because of the 2020 Covid-19 outbreak. As a result, this season was the most problematic since 1986. Finally, in November 2020, production on Season 56 began in preparation for its late 2021 airdate.

The actors could simply be brought back to record the programme in a recording studio. Pete McTighe was appointed as the showrunner, from that point it was up to him to create the show and what would happen in every season.

The series would be overseen by Russell T Davies, showrunner of Doctor Who from 2006-10 and creator of Olympus. Chibnall wanted to bring back Olympus when he returned to Doctor Who as to give the Doctor Who franchise a popularity boost to get people more interested with the show again, he asked Russell T Davies to return and write a story with Olympus to which he accepted. Story planning began when Davies’ drama focusing on the AIDS crisis It’s A
