Jodie Whittaker's first Doctor Who season will have only standalone episodes

Digital Spy

There will be no two-part episodes, says showrunner Chris Chibnall, who made the change so that Season 11 could be more accessible to non-Who fans. "It's 10 standalone episodes, there's no two-parters or anything like that," Chibnall tells Digital Spy. "What we want is for people to feel like we've got the range and variety of Doctor Who this year. So if you've never seen it before, you're gonna fall in love with it, and if you have seen it, you're gonna get those things that you love about the show across the 10 episodes."
