Doctor Who changes seem constant and continuing forever.

Ncuti Gatwa’s time as the Doctor has come to a surprising close. In the shocking May 31, 2025 finale "The Reality War," his Doctor regenerated into none other than Billie Piper — yes, the beloved former companion Rose Tyler, now stepping into the Time Lord’s shoes.
