The Doctor’s next adventures will be looking for a new home on much of the planet.
Disney+ has exited its Doctor Who partnership with the BBC , which made the streamer the worldwide home of the sci-fi series outside the U.K. and Ireland. The BBC, however, says it’s committed to continuing the show; 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.”
More to come.
