Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski in talks to run Doctor Who (news).
Now, there’s a plot twist I didn’t see coming – the Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski is in talks to run Doctor Who as head honcho after Chris Chibnall leaves as showrunner.
The BBC confirmed this news through their Radio Times web site, after J. Michael Straczynski released the scoop on his twitter account.
JMS as showrunner of Doctor Who? What do you think? He could be just the person for the job.
Contact with the BBC has been made. They’re going through their own process, which began before my tweet, and that has to run its course, but if those don’t pan out and there’s a discussion to be had, they will reach out. Very courteous, so we’ll see where their process leads. https://t.co/CnxqGF59ny
