Peter Capaldi has been asked by Doctor Who executives to stay with the sci-fi series after showrunner Steven Moffat steps down in 2017.
The Scottish actor, who has been playing the Time Lord since 2014, is reportedly planning to leave after the 2017 series when Moffat, the lead writer and executive producer, exits the show and is replaced by Chris Chibnall.
Capaldi has now revealed that he's been asked to stay while the transition takes place, but is still deliberating over his future on the show.
"I've been asked to stay on, but it's such a long time before I have to make that decision," he has told Britain's Radio Times magazine.
"Steven's been wonderful, so I love working with him. Chris is fantastic and he's a hugely talented guy. I don't know where the show's gonna go then. I don't know. I have to make up my mind. I haven't yet."
