BBC announced Gatwa’s casting on their social media channels, and their chief content officer Charlotte Moore released an official statement explaining why he felt like a perfect choice.

“Ncuti has an incredible dynamism, he’s a striking and fearless young actor whose talent and energy will set the world alight and take Doctor Who on extraordinary adventures under Russell T Davies’ new era,” said Moore.

Gatwa will make history as the first black actor to ever play the Doctor and he’s following in the footsteps of Jodie Whittaker, who became the first female Time Lord in 2017. He said he’s “honored, beyond excited, and of course a little bit scared” to play the Doctor in Season 14, which will see him join forces with returning showrunner Russell T Davies, who agreed to come back for the show’s 60th anniversary.

Before being cast in Doctor Who, Gatwa got his big break and received three BAFTA TV Awards nominations for his role in Sex Education. As for his movie credits, he’s soon set to appear in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, led by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.

The announcement was made via a video with headmaster Michael Groff (Alistair Petrie), who is also Adam’s father.

The second season of Sex Education revolved around Otis Milburn’s (Asa Butterfield) efforts to control his sexual urges while navigating his blossoming relationship with Ola (Patricia Allison) and trying to mend his friendship with Maeve (Emma Mackey), all while a Chlamydia outbreak occurs at Moordale Secondary.

Also starring in the second season were Gillian Anderson as Otis’s mom, and her love interest Jakob (Mikael Persbrandt).

Sex Education was written and created by Laurie Nunn and directed by Ben Taylor, Alice Seabright, and Sophie Goodhart. Jamie Campbell, Laurie Nunn, and Ben Taylor are executive producers.

Anderson, who stars as sex therapist Jean Milburn on the critically acclaimed British comedy-drama, told Entertainment Weekly that after she first read the script, she actually put it in the garbage. 

“I read a teeny bit of the first episode and threw it in the bin. Initially I felt that it was too on the nose,” she said.

But then Anderson’s real-life partner got involved. 

“Pete essentially took it out the bin and read it and loved it, and said, ‘You’re mad. This will be really good for you to do.’ I read it and I thought it was hilarious.” And does he take credit for the success? “He does keep reminding me that the success of it is all down to him,” Anderson added with a laugh. 

Anderson’s next project is season four of The Crown as British prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

The series is set to return to Netflix on January 17th, following Asa Butterfield’s Otis Milburn, the unofficial sex therapist at Moordale Secondary, as his relationships with his girlfriend Ola (Patricia Allison) and friend Maeve (Emma Mackey) definitely become complicated.

In the trailer, we see Otis’ mom (Gillian Anderson), the sex therapist, addressing the whole school about sex and sleeping with Ola’s dad, Mikael Persbrandt’s Jakob. It also looks like everyone’s favorite best friend, Eric (Ncuti Gatwa), is finally getting his shot at love with a foreign exchange student from France.

Sex Education was written by Laurie Nunn, and we couldn’t agree more with the tagline of the second season, “Life is hard. Love is messy. Messy is normal.”

The second season was directed by Ben Taylor, Alice Seabright, and Sophie Goodhart. Executive producing are Jamie Campbell, Nunn, and Taylor.

We can’t wait to see what’s in store for these high schoolers!
