She said she was excited about filming the episode:
“I'm so excited to be working on Doctor Who as it’s such a big and important part of British Culture. I can’t wait to meet the cast and crew and start filming, especially as we’ll be shooting not too far from my home town.”
Executive Producer Stephen Moffat said of the news:
“We’re thrilled to have Maisie Williams joining us on Doctor Who. It’s not possible to say too much about who or what she’s playing, but she is going to challenge the Doctor in very unexpected ways. This time he might just be out of his depth, and we know Maisie is going to give him exactly the right sort of hell.”
Maisie will be joined by comedian Rufus Hound on the show, which stars Peter Capaldi as the Doctor, and Jenna Louise Coleman as Clara Oswald.
