Showrunner Chris Chibnall said his diverse writing and directing staff, which includes a number of minorities and women, will make the series stronger. “Hailing from a range of backgrounds, tastes and styles," he says, "here’s what unites them: they are awesome people as well as brilliant at their job. (It matters!) They love Doctor Who. And they’ve all worked above and beyond the call of duty in an effort to bring audiences something special, later this year.”
