Loki director and EP Kate Herron is to co-write an upcoming episode of Doctor Who featuring Ncuti Gatwa.
Herron will write the episode with long-time collaborator Briony Redman, an actor and comedian whose work includes the Welsh crime-comedy Pont Brec with Damian Evans and award-winning short film Forget-Me-Not.
Herron is the latest big creative name to board the upcoming season showran by Russell T. Davies. She EPd and directed the entire Marvel Loki series and has also directed episodes of Sex Education, which Gatwa stars in.
Herron and Redman have collaborated on a range of work together including their comic, The Storkening, as well as TV and film projects including the sci-fi Miss Universe and short film Smear.
Gatwa will take over as the 15th Doctor next year, following three specials in which former Doctor David Tennant will return to briefly become the 14th Doctor.
“This is when I absolutely love my job,” Davies said. “Working with the stellar talents of Kate and Briony makes my whole world bigger and brighter, and a lot more fun.”
Big acting names confirmed to join the new BBC/Disney+ co-produced series include Miriam Margolyes, Neil Patrick Harris, Game of Thrones star Indira Varma and Heartstopper‘s Yasmin Finney.
