Disney+ exits Doctor Who partnership after two seasons as BBC commits to the long-running series

The partnership that made Disney+ the worldwide (outside of Britain and Ireland) streamer for Doctor Who has ended. The BBC, however, says it’s committed to continuing Doctor Who, announcing that the next installment will be a 2026 Christmas special. “We’d like to thank Disney+ for being terrific global partners and collaborators over the past two seasons, and for the upcoming (spinoff series) The War Between the Land and the Sea,” said Lindsay Salt, director of drama at the BBC. “The BBC remains fully committed to Doctor Who, which continues to be one of our most loved dramas, and we are delighted that Russell T Davies has agreed to write us another spectacular Christmas special for 2026. We can assure fans, the Doctor is not going anywhere, and we will be announcing plans for the next series in due course, which will ensure the TARDIS remains at the heart of the BBC.” Disney+ and the BBC announced the Doctor Who streaming deal in October 2022, which infused Doctor Who with more money. The deal ended up covering Ncuti Gatwa’s two seasons as the 15th Doctor.

Is Disney the Reason We Lost Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor?

Is the collapse of the Disney deal the reason we only got two seasons of Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor? Probably, and it's just one more thing that sucks.
