Doctor Who is as British as a Yorkshire pudding and a Cornish pasty, but just because it’s an institution across the pond doesn’t mean it will have a lasting global impact. In 2023, the series celebrated its 60th anniversary with a new deal with Disney+, meaning American viewers could watch the series on a new streaming service with an elevated production budget. However, after two seasons of this new partnership, the global future of the series has remained on the bubble for months now.
Now, a Doctor Who production company executive has revealed that the series’ streaming home is contractually obligated to wait until after more episodes have aired to make a decision, meaning the fate could lie in a mostly-unrelated spinoff series.
