For a while, it seemed like Doctor Who would never disappear. In 2005, the long-running British time travel series was rebooted with a new format and a new star and entered a Golden Age, amassing a gigantic online fandom and launching the careers of huge actors like David Tennant and Karen Gillan. But with the show’s 60th anniversary in 2023, something changed.
The BBC made a deal to co-produce Doctor Who with Disney, and while that meant fans around the world could catch new episodes on Disney+, three years later, the fate of the entire franchise is now hovering in limbo. What’s more, the previous 13 seasons of Doctor Who dating back to the 2005 reboot were unceremoniously removed from HBO Max last July. While we may not know the future of this series, thankfully, we can soon revisit the past a lot easier.
