On Thursday night, Steven Moffat broke the news to fans that after the next series of Doctor Who, Amy and Rory Pond will not be accompanying the Doctor on any more time-travelling adventures.





The Doctor Who writer and executive producer explained that the Doctor will be looking for a new companion after the next series of the show. "The final days of the Ponds are coming – and during the next series. I'm not telling you when and certainly not telling you how. But that story is going to come to a heartbreaking end," Moffat said.





A new companion has not yet been cast. "The Doctor is going to meet a new friend – and I'm not going to tell you anything about he, she or it," the writer teased.
