TV Magazine joins Matt on set, we’re thrilled to declare he’s going nowhere just yet.
“I’m on a break for a couple of months while I’m in Detroit making How To Catch A Monster [he plays the lead role in Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut],” explains Matt, who’s played the eleventh incarnation of the Time Lord since 2010.
“We come back and shoot the Christmas special over the summer, then we go on to the next series, which will either start filming at the end of this year or at the start of 2014.”
So unless he’s lying through his teeth, fans can look forward to another full series of Matt next year, as well as the bumper treat of the 50th anniversary 3D special, with his much-loved predecessor David Tennant, this November.
Shrugging off rumours that he’s quitting, the actor is good-natured about the speculation.
“People are always going to ask because they care about the show,” says Matt, who admits he’d love to direct an episode of Doctor Who.
“But I take it year by year. And this year is going to be the biggest one in the show’s history.”

Awesome news! :D
ReplyDeleteI have to admit I have very mixed feelings about it.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, after the entire week of finales I'm not really thinking so straight. ;)
But that means season 8 is over a year away... HOW WILL I SURVIVE?!?!?! :P
ReplyDeleteExpect rumours that he isn't coming back to start within the day ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is the benefit of the American shows having longer seasons means alot less waiting time between them.
ReplyDeleteOh thank God. He's the only thing that keeps me watching at the moment. But to be fair if he leaves that means I'll just get to see him be brilliant in other things. So I'm pretty fine either way.
ReplyDeleteSo if we can ignore the rumors that he's leaving, can we also ignore the John Hurt rumors?
ReplyDeleteFrom the same people who (in 2008) exclusively claimed that David Tenannt had told them he was signed on till 2011.... Right...
ReplyDeletethank the TARDIS
ReplyDeleteThe same paper, not the same people. They're flat out quoting him, guy. If they were inventing it, that's major legal trouble.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see Matt Smith around for another season. Especially now after having watched this Finale.
ReplyDeleteNo because John Hurt is REAL he IS The 9th Doctor, and he will screw the order of the Doctors. Although I have a way to maintain order
ReplyDeleteummm it has just been confirmed that he's leaving at Xmas who can i trust?
