Jodie Whittaker to return for another season of 'Doctor Who'
BBC America announced Sunday that it has renewed the sci-fi series Doctor Who for another season, with Jodie Whittaker returning as the titular time heroine.
"The Doctor and her friends will land again with an all-new season on @BBCAMERICA in early 2020. #DoctorWho," the show's Twitter account said.
Tosin Cole, Mandip Gill and Bradley Walsh co-star.
Whittaker took over the role this season from outgoing star Peter Capaldi. She is the first female to play the part. Her first season ended Sunday and a New Year's special is slated to air Jan. 1.
The Broadchurch alum told UPI in October she is still adjusting to her newfound fame.
"You are famous before you've stepped on set, so you've made this huge life choice for your family forever and yourself and your career and you are a familiar face before you've kind of accepted yourself what that will mean," she said.

Candace Cameron Bure hospitalized for go-karting injury
Candace Cameron Bure was hospitalized after injuring herself in a go-kart race.
The 42-year-old actress ended up in the emergency room Thursday following an outing with her siblings, brother Kirk Cameron and sisters Melissa and Bridgette Cameron.
"Went go-karting with my brother and two sisters. I've been released now, but was in the ER," she said in a video on Instagram Stories. "My brother ran me over."
The Fuller House star also shared clips from her time in the hospital. The videos show Bure lying in her hospital bed with a bruised and bloody hand.
"They got my rings off and that was one of the most painful things I've ever experienced," she said. "I'm fine, though, clearly. I'm taking a video, so it's not that bad."
Bure's X-rays came back clear and she left with a bruised hand and shoulder. She shared a photo of her rings that were warped in the collision.
"Those used to be perfectly round rings until they caught the underside of the go-kart as it drove on top of me," the actress wrote. "Getting them off was excruciating. But I'm grateful the ER paramedic was able to do it without cutting them off."
Bure plays D.J. Tanner on Fuller House, which will return for a fourth season Dec. 14 on Netflix. She denied in an interview with E! News in October that the show will end after Season 4.
"I think that everyone's going to love Season 4 and I have no doubt we're going to be back for Season 5," the star said.
