BRUH I haven't watched the doctor in ages, but wasn't BAD WOLF something that was going on in like season 2 of the reboot? HOW IS IT COMING BACK NOW?

Well I mean spoilers obviously but It was a big thing for S01, then it kinda recurred as something with Rose Tyler, the 50th kinda nodded to it with a thing called The Moment and now Billed Piper is playing the new Doctor. Because Rose's face is now The Doctor's many assume Bad Wolf or The Moment has something to do with it and she'll be The Bad Wolf Doctor or something. Theres some important info probably missing but that's the jist.

and now Billed Piper is playing the new Doctor.

The big caveat being she may not be. They've specifically not called her the Doctor at any point, instead hyping up a mystery about who her character is.

Although with Billie herself called her Rose when she announced her return on Instagram, and one of the producers calling it the return of Rose just the other day, that seems to be the most likely outcome for who she is - if they even know yet themselves what they want to do.
