Doctor Who is going all in on the Gen Z and TikTok crowd, according to co-star Millie Gibson who plays the current companion. In fact, it seems like they’re actively trying to get rid of the old audience, given some of her comments. Good luck with that, BBC and Disney…
Added Context:
Millie Gibson, who plays the new companion Ruby Sunday in “Doctor Who,” has shared her thoughts on the show’s new direction and its appeal to Gen Z audiences. In an interview with The Independent, Gibson expressed her belief that the latest season of “Doctor Who” will resonate strongly with Gen Z viewers. She pointed out that the season aligns with contemporary times and addresses a variety of faces and themes that are important to be represented on television.
Gibson highlighted that the season incorporates “so many controversial elements,” which she views as the “good sort of controversy” necessary for modern storytelling. She also acknowledged that some long-time viewers of “Doctor Who” might feel alienated by the new direction, commenting that some might think, “This isn’t the Doctor Who I know.” However, Gibson expressed excitement about the show’s innovative concepts and changes, emphasizing their significance in keeping the series relevant and engaging for current audiences.
Her comments align with the broader vision of the show’s direction under Russell T. Davies, who returned as the showrunner. Davies has also indicated that the show will take a step towards fantasy, which might be a departure from its traditional hard science-fiction approach. This shift, according to Davies, is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the series, though it may also provoke different reactions from the show’s diverse fanbase.
Overall, Gibson’s insights suggest a conscious effort by the “Doctor Who” team to evolve the series in a way that resonates with younger audiences while exploring themes and narratives reflective of current societal issues and trends.
