After the excitement of the return of weekly adventures with our favorite Time Lord, we've reached the business end of this latest outing. Below we have all the information on how to watch the "Doctor Who" season 14 finale from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for free.
The "Doctor Who" season 14 finale drops on Friday, June 21, in the U.S. and on Saturday, June 22 in the U.K..
• WATCH FREE — BBC iPlayer (U.K)
• U.S. — Watch on Disney Plus
• Unblock any stream with NordVPN
As The Fifteenth Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa made history from the get-go as he effected a bi-generational split – rather than a traditional regeneration – with fourteenth Doctor (David Tennant) in "The Giggle", the third of the 60th anniversary specials late last year.
Consequently, Dr Who fans were impatient for this landmark new season to land and not least because writer/showrunner Russell T. Davies returned to the fold to deliver another eight episodes. New Doctor, new companion, RTD back in the chair. What could possibly go wrong? Apart from babies running a spaceship, vengeful ancient gods, planet-wide warfare, "Bridgerton" obsessed aliens and malicious folklore spirits that is.
The new deal with Disney+ means that this season of Doctor Who has been broadcast to it's biggest ever potential audience but while the show has been fairly lore-light there's also millions of new eyes on the show that might need some of the Whoniverse explained to them. While we won't spoil things in too much detail, the finale baiting cliffhanger bought back a villain with a very long standing grudge to settle.
Read on for our guide to everything you need to know on how to watch from anywhere.
