Doctor Who is speedrunning its evolution. After completely rebooting with a new Doctor, a new partnership with Disney, and a returning showrunner, it seemed like we were going to enter a new Golden Age for the series that has been a British institution since 1963. However, only two seasons in, everything seemed to be thrown into question. Ncuti Gatwa, the current Doctor, regenerated into yet another familiar face, Billie Piper. But despite the exciting reveal, Disney has still yet to renew the series for a third season, leading some fans to think the unthinkable: Doctor Who may be over as we know it.
Showrunner Russell T. Davies has already said the future of the series rests in the boardroom, not the writers’ room, and now after months of limbo, we finally have an answer as to whether or not the show will continue. It may not be the best update possible, but it’s at the very least a promise of more.
