Stephen Moffat, producer and showrunner of the BBC series "Doctor Who," has already mapped out the next few years of the show. He told Doctor Who magazine via Radio Times that the series is expected to continue for a minimum of five more years. 

"I thought it would last 10 years," Moffat stated. "I didn't think it would last 10 years with BBC Worldwide trying to get me in a room to talk about their plan for the next five years!" 

He then followed this with, "It's going to do a minimum of 15. I mean, it could do 26!" 

During the interview, Moffat said that doing the show had not gotten any easier despite handling the series for years, saying that finding new Doctors was never an easy task. He also went on the record stating that the danger they face is when the team starts thinking the process has become easy.

Luckily though, the quality of the show has shone through the years. The showrunner praised its ratings, which generally remained the same since it rebooted in 2005. 

"Ten years on, our ratings are pretty much the same. Actually, internationally, bigger. No show does that! You're meant to go down! Doctor Who just stays. It's extraordinary!" he said.

Moffat inherited the role of showrunner from Russell T. Davies, who was also influential in reviving the series back in 2005. "Doctor Who" originally aired from 1963 to1989, and many of the creatures, themes, and characters from the old show were triumphantly brought back in the current series. 

With five more years still expected, International Business Times enumerates some of the things fans should look forward to: the addition of Catherine Tregenna as screen writer, a lighter mood for the 12th Doctor to step away from actor Peter Capaldi's darker take, the possibility of a "Sherlock" and "Doctor Who" crossover, and additional guest stars such as "Game of Thrones" own Maisie Williams.
