Doctor Who has struggled to maintain the success of its spinoffs, with series like The Sarah Jane Adventures and Class showing potential but ultimately falling short. Class, aimed at a younger audience, was particularly disappointing, only lasting one season. However, the upcoming Season 2 aims to revitalize the franchise, with Juno Dawson joining as a writer. Dawson, a bestselling author, brings exciting ideas and will be the first openly trans writer for the show, highlighting a push for diversity among the cast and crew, which includes other trans and non-binary characters.
Dawson's talents will be a boon for the series, and Dawson will be the first openly trans writer of a Doctor Who episode.
The show's current iteration has made an effort to include more trans talent, including Yasmin Finney as Donna Noble's daughter Rose.
Doctor Who's spinoffs have never really taken off in the same way, with series like The Sarah Jane Adventures only lasting a few seasons.
Perhaps the most frustrating Doctor Who spinoff is Class, meant to introduce the Who-niverse to a new generation, but lasted only one season.
