- Chris Chibnall mentioned that instead of the usual 11 episodes (10 for the season + holiday special), season 13 will only have 8 episodes.
- This is due to the late start in filming and episodes taking a lot more time due to Covid procedures.
- Doctor Who returns this December for it's 2020 holiday special.
