Piers Wenger's recent interview has given some hints to the next series.
Talking about Alex Kingstons reappearance as River Song, Piers said.
“We’ve got some really exciting negotiations going on at the moment. We’ve got Alex Kingston returning for several episodes this year. But at the moment, there’s no one I can actually reveal other than Alex.”
Will we find out River Songs secret straight away, he said.
“No. We’re probably not finding that out quite yet, but stay tuned. I think you’ll get really great clues in the coming season.”
When asked about the series split in 2011, he said.
“I think it was basically driven by the story that Steven had in his head. It had a big [story] in the middle of it and I think [Steven] spoke to the drama commissioner of the BBC about that where he figured ‘why not build a [structure] that really built to it?’
“It was an excellent opportunity to really get the audience hooked by making it an end of season cliffhanger. We get a three month hiatus between the first part and the second part in the U.K… You’re never more than three months away from the next Doctor Who.”
