"Doctor Who," one of the longest-running television shows of all time, has made a historical casting decision.
On Sunday, the iconic 56-year-old BBC science fiction show revealed that Jo Martin, a black actress, will play The Doctor -- alongside current Doctor Jodie Whittaker. If that sounds confusing, well, it's meant to be.
"Doctor Who" follows the interstellar adventures of The Doctor, a time-traveling alien who is able to regenerate into a new form. Whittaker, the first woman to play the role, is officially the thirteenth Doctor. Since the show was rebooted in 2005, the character has also been played by Christopher Eccleston, Matt Smith, David Tennant and Peter Capaldi.
