Writers Kate Herron & Briony Redman Team for Doctor Who

Kate Herron, executive producer and director on Loki and Sex Education, and Briony Redman, actor, comedian and writer, have co-written an episode of the upcoming season of Doctor Who.

The duo previously collaborated on the comic The Storkening and a range of TV and film projects such as Miss Universe and Smear. Their episode of Doctor Who will air once Ncuti Gatwa has appeared as the Fifteenth Doctor.

“Clearly I can’t get enough of time travel,” Herron said. “It is an absolute honor to write for Russell and Ncuti. We had so much fun and can’t wait for you all to see it.”

Redman said, “As a big fan of Doctor Who and Russell T Davies, it’s been a dream to write on this show.”

“This is when I absolutely love my job,” noted showrunner Russell T Davies. “Working with the stellar talents of Kate and Briony makes my whole world bigger and brighter, and a lot more fun. I was a huge fan of Loki and reached out to Kate to say so. She then introduced me to Briony, and it was all systems go! They’ve written a wonderful script which created unique challenges for cast and crew alike. The end result is gorgeous and thrilling and scary, and not like any other episode of Doctor Who.”
