It has been announced that the BBC and Disney Branded Television have come together to transform Welsh-filmed Doctor Who into a global franchise for UK audiences and the rest of the world. The announcement was made by the Fifteenth Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, during an appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan in America. A new logo for the programme, which is inspired by the 1973 version, has also been unveiled.
A joint statement from the two stations says: "Under a shared creative vision, the two stations will deliver this quintessentially British show to future generations on an unprecedented scale with Disney+ as the exclusive home for new seasons of Doctor Who outside the UK and Ireland.
"Both partners have aligned under returning showrunner Russell T Davies vision, who takes control of the Tardis in 2023. He was responsible for Doctor Who's revival in 2005 and is credited with propelling the show into one of TV's biggest hits."
