Update: Jenna Coleman has confirmed she is leaving Doctor Who.
It’s being reported that this is the final season for Jenna Coleman, who plays the Companion Clara Oswald on Doctor Who.
Various UK tabloid sites are reporting Coleman is leaving Doctor Who to play Queen Victoria in a $15.5 million production for ITV.
This is at least the second time Coleman has been said to be leaving, with the previous time said to be around last year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special; however, reports surfaced stating the episode was retooled when she decided to stay on.
The BBC has yet to make an official announcement.
Jenna Coleman first appeared in the first episode of Series 7.
Doctor Who returns for Series 9 this Saturday the 19th on BBCA. Check out the new “Look Ahead” preview below.
