Showrunner Steven Moffat confirmed Doctor Who Series 8 at the BAFTAs earlier this month, but speaking to The Sun, star Matt Smith added that he’d also be returning.
“I’m on a break for a couple of months while I’m in Detroit making How To Catch A Monster,” said Smith.
“We come back and shoot the Christmas special over the summer, then we go on to the next series, which will either start filming at the end of this year or at the start of 2014.”
Doctor Who Series 7 Part 2 will be available to own on 20 May 2013. Pre-order it on Blu-ray for £21.50 or on DVD for £17.75 from Amazon.co.uk.
