Rachel Talalay will be directing the Doctor Who Christmas Special for 2017, the news having been confirmed by Steven Moffat.
Speaking at SHERLOCKED USA: The Official Sherlock Convention, Moffat said:
“Making big-budget spectaculars on no money at all is what we need, and Rachel’s got such a deep background, and such great ability at that! We’re just finishing up on the finale episodes, and planning the Christmas one, which she’s also directing — which is my very last one.”
This year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special will mark the end of an era for the show, seeing the departures of both The Moff and Peter Capaldi as well as potentially Pearl Mackie and Matt Lucas.
Rachel Talaley has an impressive resume on the show, having the season finales for both of Peter Capaldi’s previous seasons as well as the forthcoming World Enough and Time and The Doctor Falls.
The Doctor Who Christmas Special 2017 will air December 25 on BBC One.
