The future of the series beyond this one remains up in the air, with no confirmation of a new series yet.
However, a supposed leak ahead of the series finale is gaining traction online, with fans shocked.

Doctor Who finale ‘leak’ leaves fans ‘scared’ and ‘shocked’
Newsquest will not reveal the details of the alleged leak going around as not to spoil the show.
There is also no confirmation that any of it is true.
However, fans have taken to social media to air their thoughts over the leak.
One said: “Okay I’ve seen the leak I assume everybody is talking about with Doctor Who.
“I won’t say anything on the tl, but my general thoughts: it’s sitting with me in less than fun way.”
Another said: “I just woke up and opened Twitter and I’m hearing talk about a big doctor who leak what’s going on I’m scared.”
A third posted a short video showing Freema Agyeman’s former Doctor Who character Martha Jones saying: “Oh my god!”
One doubted the rumours, though, saying: “Read the Doctor Who leaks and while some of them line up with what’s happened so far, I really don’t believe a certain few of them.
“Feels like the leaker maybe threw in some red herrings as to not let the BBC catch on to the leak until recently.”
The BBC declined to comment on the Doctor Who rumours when approached for comment.
