US EditionDoctor Who Will Continue 'With or Without Disney,' BBC Insists, As Wait For Renewal Drags On
BBC assures fans that Doctor Who's legacy will continue independently amid Disney's uncertain distribution role, with season 15 averaging 3.2 million UK viewers, officials said.
- The BBC announced that Doctor Who will continue producing future seasons, with the Doctor set to return despite recent cast changes.
- This announcement follows Ncuti Gatwa's sudden exit after two series and declining viewership amid uncertainty about the BBC-Disney partnership.
- BBC executives, including Lindsay Salt and Kate Phillips, reaffirmed commitment to keeping Doctor Who on air with or without Disney's involvement.
- In his second season as the Doctor, Gatwa drew an average audience of 3.2 million over the course of eight episodes, which was 500,000 fewer viewers compared to his debut season.
- The continued production and the upcoming spin-off show suggest the BBC intends to sustain Doctor Who’s legacy despite challenges in ratings and cast turnover.
