Jodie Whittaker to leave sci-fi series Dr Who in 2022

Jodie Whittaker, the first woman to take on the lead role in sci-fi series Doctor Who, will be leaving the television show next year, Britain’s BBC said.
The British actress has portrayed The Doctor – a shape-shifting alien Time Lord played by men since the show first appeared on British television screens in 1963 – since 2017. The 39-year-old, who described the role as ‘the best job I have ever had,’ will feature in a six-part Event Serial this autumn as well as in three specials planned for next year.
Showrunner Chris Chibnall will also leave
the production in 2022.
