"That may well be the case with this week's announcement from the BBC that Doctor Who will return to BBC One with a 2026 Christmas special and a new series to follow, but that the show's international streaming partnership with Disney+ will end. There was no indication of who might play the Doctor in next year's special, which will be written by Russell T Davies and produced by Bad Wolf with BBC Studios."
"We'd like to thank Disney+ for being terrific global partners and collaborators over the past two seasons. The BBC remains fully committed to Doctor Who, which continues to be one of our most loved dramas, and we are delighted that Russell T Davies has agreed to write us another spectacular Christmas special. We can assure fans, the Doctor is not going anywhere, and we will be announcing plans for the next series in due course."
Doctor Who will return to BBC One with a 2026 Christmas special followed by a new series, and the show's international streaming partnership with Disney+ will end. The Christmas special will be written by Russell T Davies and produced by Bad Wolf with BBC Studios. The final episode of the 2025 series, The Reality War, showed the departing 15th Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, briefly regenerating into Billie Piper, who previously played companion Rose Tyler but was not credited as The Doctor. The BBC thanked Disney+ and affirmed its commitment to the series. Future showrunner and production arrangements remain unconfirmed.
