Doctor Who Season 12: Renewal

Looking at its popularity amongst masses, BBC had to renew the series for years ahead. Back in 2015, showrunner Steven Moffat announced that the sci-fi show would run for atleast five more years until 2020. However, this limits the renewal upto Doctor Who Season 12 only. Ahead of the upcoming season, fans may have to wait for BBC to greenlight future installments.
