Doctor Who has been renewed for a seventh series, according to a recent post on Twitter from a BBC executive.
Sam Hodges made the announcement via Twitter earlier today, also stating that current Doctor Matt Smith would be returning for the new run.
He wrote: "Doctor Who is returning. Fourteen new episodes have been commissioned with Matt Smith as The Doctor."
The post was later re-tweeted by Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat, appearing to confirm its validity.
Moffat then added: "14 eps + Matt definitely [involved]. I've got a plan and I'm not telling you what it is."
The news follows a piece in satirical magazine Private Eye which claimed that the sci-fi drama's seventh run could be delayed until 2013.
The report suggested that a series of four specials will air in place of a full series in 2012. Back in 2009, the BBC made a similar move, airing David Tennant's final episodes as four specials throughout the year.
The sixth series of Doctor Who has been split into two parts, with the mid-series finale airing on BBC One last Saturday.
The show is expected to return for six more episodes later in 2011.
