returning fan-favorite writer Russell T Davies.
Now, current music composer Akinola confirms that he, too, will be stepping down following Whittaker’s final episode. Akinola took over from revival composer Murray Gold in 2018, and has scored every episode of the current Doctor's new-look era of the show. Speaking to followers on Twitter, the composer confirms “the next episode will be my final one,” revealing he had always planned to leave alongside “Chris & Jodie.” Check out the original post below:

Fans will wish the musical maestro all the best. Akinola’s departure further adds to the complete overhaul that is coming to the sci-fi series in 2023. With Davies returning as showrunner, and appearances from David Tennant and Catherine Tate on their way, it appears Doctor Who is going back to some of its fan-favorite elements from the 2000s. It’s possible that previous composer Gold could also Davies and company in reinvigorating the show for the 60th anniversary, but whoever takes up the musical reins remains to be seen. Until then, Akinola has one more adventure due, as Doctor Who returns for a BBC centenary special later this year.
