In a recent report by Doctor Who TV, speculated that a new writer for Series 8 of the sci-fi thriller will be coming on board.
Writer of Wallander, Case Histories and an upcoming BBC adaptation of the fantasy-history Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Peter Harness is working on a script for the upcoming series.
“Doctor Who” is written by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, who also write the immensely popular British “Sherlock” series.
The first episode of Series 8 has not been officially announced, but it will come out in the UK in 2014.
It is however, possible that the script won’t make it into the series. Other writers for the show include Phil Ford, and Steve Thompson, and Gareth Roberts, all of whom worked on previous “Doctor Who” series.
The announced cast for the upcoming first episode include The Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi, who has made appearances most recently in “World War Z,” “The Fifth Estate,” and countless TV series.
Joining Capaldi will be Clara Oswald, played by Jenna Coleman, and Catrin Stewart as Jenny Flint.
Recently released photos from AP show Capaldi Capaldi at the Caerphilly Castle, in Wales, Britain on April 18, 2014. Actor Tom Riley, and actress Jenna-Louise Coleman were also on set for the shoot.
