After a relationship spanning more than 50 years, the Doctor and the ABC are parting ways. The news follows a BBC announcement that it will partner with Disney+ to continue the series.
The partnership comes as she show welcomes the return of showrunner Russell T Davies, who was responsible for the show’s revival in 2005 and is credited with propelling the show into one of TV’s biggest hits. David Tennant will also return to play the Doctor for three specials, before Gatwa takes over the role. The new episodes will premiere on the BBC and Disney+ beginning in late 2023.
