"I'm beginning to have an idea of the kind of person, specific ideas but not a specific actress. A new companion gives us the chance to launch the show again. It began in 1963 with the story of Ian and Barbara and then in 2005 with Rose Tyler," Moffat said, according to The Radio Times. "Arguably it begins again with the story of Amy Pond. You can recruit new viewers when somebody else meets the Doctor. And I think we've got a really cool new idea about how to do that."

In the meantime, find out will happen when Twelve heads back to Gallifrey in the season 9 finale, "Hell Bent."
