Steven Moffat has revealed that he’s already invited Michelle Gomez back to Doctor Who to reprise her role as Missy.

Gomez joined Doctor Who as Missy, the first female incarnation of The Master, in ‘Deep Breath’. Season 8 concluded last month on BBC One with ‘Death in Heaven’, with the Brigadier returning as a Cybermen to ‘kill’ Missy.

However, Moffat told Radio Times: “I’ve already asked her to come back.”

The showrunner added: “The Master is never dead, no matter what happens to him or her. She’s entirely unzappable!”

Moffat also recently hinted that more two-part stories could be on the way for Peter Capaldi’s Doctor: “I dunno, there’s something about Peter’s Doctor that it suits.”

Doctor Who returns later this month with ‘Last Christmas’.
