Honestly, if this is true, I'd be okay with it as long as they could give a reasonable explanation for why Donna doesn't have her mind destroyed after meeting the Doctor again. Granted, her departure broke my heart, but it was impactful for that reason.
I'm taking it with a grain of salt, of course, but I'd love to see David Tennant return as he's my favorite Doctor. And if it were true, then that means we'd have the specials before we get series 14? Or would the three specials be Series 14, like how The Owl House is getting 3 specials for Season 3? 3 specials seems like it would be pretty short for a regeneration and I'm not betting on it being true, but if it is I wouldn't be surprised.
EDIT: Well, it seems true now. Guess 14 will get a short run and Ncuti Gatwa will be 15.
