After a lot of guessing, we finally have some news about the future of Doctor Who. The season two finale left viewers confused when Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor transformed into a version resembling Rose Tyler. Since then, rumors have swirled about whether season three would be available on Disney+. Now it’s confirmed: Doctor Who won’t return to Disney+ for season three. However, fans can still look forward to a Christmas special in 2026 on the BBC, brought to us by showrunner Russell T Davies. (We saw this news first at Variety.)
Is Doctor Who Cancelled for Good or Will It Have More Seasons?
The BBC has confirmed that Doctor Who will continue with future seasons. Lindsay Salt, the BBC’s Director of Drama, expressed gratitude for Disney+’s partnership over the last two seasons and for the upcoming The War Between the Land and the Sea. She stated the BBC is still dedicated to Doctor Who, one of its most popular shows, and is excited that Russell T Davies will write another special Christmas episode for 2026. Fans can rest assured that the Doctor isn’t going anywhere, and details about the next series will be announced soon, guaranteeing the TARDIS will remain a key part of the BBC’s programming.
Who Will Play the Doctor in the 2026 Christmas Special of Doctor Who?
Billie Piper will likely return to Doctor Who for the 2026 Christmas special to help explain some ongoing mysteries. While it might seem surprising, it’s possible she could play a future version of the Doctor – perhaps even the Sixteenth! We’ll probably find out who the next Doctor will be sometime in 2026, before they officially start filming.
How Can You Stream Doctor Who in the US for Future Seasons?
The final new Doctor Who story planned for Disney+ will be The War Between the Land and the Sea. It’s expected to be released sometime in 2025, but with no confirmed date yet, and November fast approaching, that’s a little concerning.
If you want to watch future seasons of Doctor Who, you’ll likely need a subscription to BBC America or the AMC+ streaming service, which includes BBC America. It’s currently unknown if the show will be available on any other platforms.
