Should the star land the role as the Doctor, he will be taking over the role as Russell T Davies returns as the showrunner. Since Russell also penned It's a Sin, we wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to work with the cast's alumni!
Jodie previously opened up about her decision to leave the show, telling Radio Times: "[Showrunner Chris Chibnall] and I always said we were going to do three series together, but then when you get to it, it’s a very different thing. Sometimes it was like… ‘Are we sticking to this decision?’ There’s part of me that could absolutely say, ‘No, let’s keep going! Let’s go back on it!’
We can see Omari take on the Doctor!
"But to give the fans the level that they deserve, there has to be some sacrifice. You have to know when you’ve done it. When it’s my last day of shooting, that will certainly feel as if a huge part of my life is over. But as far as being the Doctor, I get to drag it out for as long as they put the episodes on for."

The star is currently appearing in her final full series, Doctor Who: Flux, but will officially be leaving the show in 2022. Fans have been loving the new series, which has introduced John Bishop as the Doctor's newest companion, Dan.
Chatting about the role, he told the BBC: "If I could tell my younger self that one day I would be asked to step on board the TARDIS, I would never have believed it. It’s an absolute dream come true to be joining Doctor Who and I couldn’t wish for better company than Jodie and Mandip."
