'Sex Education' actor Ncuti Gatwa will be next 'Doctor Who' lead
Gatwa joins the long-running sci-fi series ahead of its 60th anniversary in 2023.
Netflix's Sex Education Ncuti Gatwa will replace Jodie Whittaker as the next Doctor Who.
"There aren't quite the words to describe how I'm feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared," Gatwa said.
He mentioned importance and popularity of the show around the world and great responsibility because of that.
Gatwa, who has been nominated for Best Male Performance in a comedy program at this year's BAFTAs, will now become the 14th Doctor in the show, CNN announced.
