When Disney teamed up with the BBC in 2022 to help bring Doctor Who to global audiences, it was pitched as a new era for the long-running sci-fi classic, one that would give the series a Marvel-style boost in scale and scope.

The BBC confirmed on Tuesday that its 'Doctor Who' co-production deal with Disney had vaporized. What went wrong on the series starring Ncuti Gatwa?

Over 50 years after they made their only appearance in Doctor Who on TV, some of the series' forgotten villains have finally returned.

The two-season partnership between the BBC and Disney+ is now officially over, which means that the Doctor — who regenerated into a mystery character played by Billie Piper in the "Doctor Who" season 2 finale -- is back on their home turf.

The fact we’re still awed by David Tennant, Catherine Tate or Billie Piper returning to our screens is evidence of the mark Davies has made on Doctor Who. But there is little in his recent tenure to compare to what he did in 2005 and that’s a problem.

Disney has dropped Doctor Who, but the BBC remains committed to the series, announcing big plans for Christmas 2026.
