Podcast drama creator Doctor Who: Fixed He claims to have been axed from the show amid rumors of a second season on BBC Sounds.
The Doctor Who The audio series, released last year, follows college dropouts Cleo, Abby and Shawna who start a conspiracy theory podcast.
It was produced as a 10-part series and featured an ensemble cast of Charlie Craggs as Cleo Proctor, Lois Chimimba as Abby MacPhail and Holly Quinn-Ankra as Shona Thompson.
The podcasters are soon caught up in a supernatural conspiracy as people connected to the Doctor begin to disappear.
Amid reports of a second season of Redacted 1, producer Ella Watts responded to the news on Twitter, expressing concern that she had been replaced.
He wrote: “Doctor Who: Edited Season 2 seems to be in the works. Unfortunately, I’m not working on it. Although it was clear I wanted to stay on the project, I was replaced by the BBC without explanation or application process.
“I believe James Goss will replace me as producer. If Redacted s2 is anything like his previous work, it will be fantastic and I wish him all the best.”
“Doctor Who means different things to different people. As a fan and an extraordinary woman, being a part of bringing an extraordinary women’s show to the Whoniverse has been the proudest moment of my life.
“From introducing it in 2018 to bringing Juno [Dawson, writer] On board in 2019, then producing, casting, editing, writing and directing – it’s been amazing.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t get a chance to watch this. This isn’t the first time that women have been replaced by men after successful first seasons in podcasting. It breaks my heart.
“I don’t know much. I hope the production goes well. I can’t wait to audition!”
