In 2021, Mal young and Jane Espenson decided on the 3-serial format for Season 56. Deciding on who should do the first part of this spectacular event, Espenson went to her old writing partner, Ronald D. Moore, who initially said no. He has reservations on returning to the show after his extremely messy exit, so he shrugged it off as a friend being a friend. After a discussion with Ira Steven Behr, Moore reconsidered and accepted (although if he hadn't Ben Aaronovitch would've filled in for him). So then, it was announced in November 2021 at ODWC that Ronald D. Moore would be returning to the show, and that he would be reimagining the First Doctor story, The Daleks' Master Plan as a 6 part serial with each episode being 50 minutes. This would also mark for the first time that Doctor Who would be a Paramount+ Original outside of the UK. The episodes featured are: The Carnivorous Jungle, The Guardian's Tale, The Face of the Enemy, The Cry of the Past, The Secret of Kembel, and The Mutation of Time.
