Producer Steven Moffat says that there are a wide variety of actors who could play the new Doctor and that the search for the Time Lord’s new persona is “terrifying.”
Moffat tells EW that “different ways you could go” in casting a replacement for Matt Smith.
“If you’re a Doctor Who fan, as I have been all my life, you’ve been doing fantasy casting for this part for as long as you can remember,” he explained. “But when you’re suddenly faced with the reality that you are going to sit there and you are going to make that decision it does feel absolutely chilling. There’s a very big range of people who could play it and different ways you could go with it. We must get this right. One false move and the show’s over.”
