Peter Capaldi will be leaving Doctor Who at the end of this year. Capaldi has been at the helm of the TARDIS for two seasons now, and will be back for a third and last season for him. "This will be the end for me," he said. "I feel sad. I love Doctor Who, it's a fantastic program to work on. It's been a huge pleasure to work with a family. I can't praise the people I've worked with more highly, but I've always been somebody that did a lot of different things. But I've never done one job for three years. This is the first time I've done this, and I feel it's sort of time for me to move on to different challenges." This news may not come as a huge shock to fans of the long-running series, since rumors of Capaldi's exit have been swirling for months now. In late 2015, he had revealed, "I love Doctor Who but it can be quite an insular world and I want to do other things. There will come a time when this is over. But I knew that when I started."
His exit will coincide with showrunner Steven Moffat's exit from the series. Just over a year ago, Moffat announced that the upcoming season 10 will be his last. The 2018 season will be run by Broadchurch creator Chris Chibnall.
