That means we'll likely see a regeneration at the end of the year -- and that the hunt for the 13th Doctor (or 14th, if you include Hurt's retroactive 'War Doctor' role) is officially underway.
Series 10 is also the last for showrunner Steven Moffat -- and the first for the Doctor's new companion Bill, played by Pearl Mackie.
So the quest for the new Doctor will almost certainly be undertaken by Moffat's replacement, Chris Chibnall -- a Whoveteran and creator of the procedural hit Broadchurch(starring former Doctor David Tennant).
The lead actor and showrunner departing at the same time is becoming a tradition for the series, which was rebooted in 2005.

But Capaldi's tenure has been more controversial, with some critics claiming Moffat's scripts had run out of steam five years into his own tenure. Capaldi spent two seasons in the TARDIS with Clara, the companion left over from the end of the Smith era.
