Doctor Who’s Future on Disney+ Looks Bright Despite Some Hitches

BBG News

Approximately 18 months ago, a fresh era for “Doctor Who” commenced when the long-standing science fiction series started streaming exclusively on Disney+ worldwide. As we approach the final three episodes of this year’s schedule and preparations are underway for the second season at Disney, there’s uncertainty about whether “Doctor Who” will continue to stream on the platform for a third season. However, if recent reports hold true, “Doctor Who” is poised for a promising future, whether it remains on Disney+ or not… though there is one significant catch.

Initially, let’s discuss what seems to be positive news. Contrary to speculation about Disney potentially ending its collaboration on Doctor Who, sources at The Mirror suggest that BBC One has plans for at least two more seasons of the show. Reports indicate that showrunner Russell T. Davies is nearing completion of scripts for Season 3, which would be the sixteenth season since the series was reintroduced in 2005, and plotlines are being developed for a seventeenth season as well.

With a Disney+ subscription, you can keep up with your favorite “Doctor Who” episodes while enjoying an array of content, including the Marvel and Star Wars universes, timeless Disney animations, captivating National Geographic documentaries, and much more! The ad-supported plan starts from just $9.99 a month. Check it out now!

The report suggests that Disney’s departure from the Doctor Who business wouldn’t be as financially damaging as one might think. This is because a significant portion of the additional funds provided by Disney, approximately £10 million per episode, are reportedly used to improve the image quality to 4K, while the BBC airs in 2K. Taking into account that Doctor Who generates around £100 million for BBC Studios through international licensing and merchandising deals, this seems to contradict the claim from February that the series might be cancelled by the BBC.

More Doctor Who Coverage

The latest significant guest appearance on Doctor Who has me leaning towards the idea that a long-standing story arc for the Thirteenth Doctor might have finally been wrapped up.

It’s confirmed that the actress from Doctor Who’s “Ruby Sunday” episode will reappear as a villain in the season 2 finale. I’m eagerly anticipating this upcoming confrontation!

As a fervent admirer of “Doctor Who,” I must share some intriguing tidbits that have been making the rounds. It seems there’s a possibility that this captivating series might continue on Disney+, or it could find a new platform for global viewers. However, if these rumors are to be believed, we may have quite a wait ahead of us before Season 3 graces our screens, with speculations pointing towards a release in 2027.

Moreover, it’s been reported that this year will pass without the traditional holiday special. And here’s another twist: there are whispers suggesting that Ncuti Gatwa might not reprise his role as the Fifteenth Doctor beyond this current season. This would make him the first actor since Christopher Eccleston to depart after just two seasons, setting a new precedent for the show’s longevity.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news that should bring a smile to our faces: despite the absence of new “Doctor Who” episodes next year, we’ll still be immersed in this captivating universe! The highly anticipated five-episode miniseries titled “The War Between the Land and the Sea” is slated for release in 2026. This exciting new installment will find UNIT engaging with the Sea Devils, a faction last seen in the 2022 “Doctor Who” episode “Legend of the Sea Devils.

Stay tuned to TopMob for fresh updates about Doctor Who after this current season ends, and catch new episodes every Saturday on Disney+. To watch the first 13 seasons of the show’s revival period, you will require a Max subscription.
