Usually, catching up on an old show is pretty straightforward. You find it on a streaming service, start at the beginning, and then watch until you’re up to date. When a show has run for over half a century, however, things get a little more complicated. Doctor Who, the longest-running sci-fi show ever, is spread over not one or two but three different services. If you want to watch the early years, you’ll have to turn to Tubi or Britbox. The reboot that ran from 2005 to 2022 is on HBO Max, while the latest season and the 60th anniversary specials are all on Disney+.
But in a classic monkey’s paw situation, the situation is about to get a lot simpler. Decades of Doctor Who are about to leave their longtime streaming home, and we have no idea where they’re going next.
