NCUTI GATWA

Gatwa will be the first non-white actor to star in the role and will make his Doctor Who debut in 2023.

On Sunday, the BBC announced that Gatwa will star as the 14th all-time doctor in the legendary series “Doctor Who.”

Gatwa, best known for the role of Eric Effiong in the Netflix series Sex Education, is the first Black person to be cast full-time in the starring role in the iconic BBC series.

The Rwanda-born, Scotland-raised Gatwa, 29, will be the first Black actor to helm the quintessential British sci-fi show, but he won't be the first Black Doctor — Jo Martin has played "Fugitive Doctor" in several episodes.

The cream of British TV talent is being honoured at this year's Bafta Television Awards in London.

The BBC has ended speculation over the iconic Time Lord’s regeneration, announcing that Ncuti Gatwa will take the mantle from Jodie Whittaker on “Doctor Who.”
