The streaming giant will no longer help make and distribute the sci-fi series, but the BBC will.
It has been a rough few years for Doctor Who. Regarded as the longest-running sci-fi show with almost 40 seasons to its name counting from when it started in the early 1960s, modern audiences aren’t quite aligning with the show in the same way as older fans. It’s still popular, but not nearly as iconic as it used to be, which is seemingly led in part down to the decision by Disney+ to end its partnership with the BBC over the show.
In a statement, it’s confirmed that we should no longer expect the streaming giant to help make and distribute Doctor Who around the world, a decision that will no doubt impact international fans but won’t stop the BBC from making the show and bringing it to UK audiences at the least.
