Williams began shooting her first Who scenes today. The show is currently in production on the two period episodes ‘The Girl Who Died’ and ‘The Woman Who Lived.’
“I’m so excited to be working on Doctor Who as it’s such a big and important part of British Culture,” Maisie said in the official statement. “I can’t wait to meet the cast and crew and start filming, especially as we’ll be shooting not too far from my home town.”
Who Executive Producer and head writer Steven Moffat was his typically cryptic self in regards to Williams’ role.
“We’re thrilled to have Maisie Williams joining us on Doctor Who. It’s not possible to say too much about who or what she’s playing, but she is going to challenge the Doctor in very unexpected ways,” he said. “This time he might just be out of his depth, and we know Maisie is going to give him exactly the right sort of hell.”
Season nine of Doctor Who will hit the airwaves this fall.
