Doctor Who enters a transformative era with Russell T. Davies at the helm, confirming its significant shift to Disney+ in 2024, a daring decision for the esteemed British science-fiction series. After reigning as a sci-fi TV favorite for sixty years, the series is making a comeback, complete with a significant alteration that has provoked a range of responses from fans worldwide. This change comes as Davies, the visionary behind the series’ successful revival in 2005, retakes the helm. Doctor Who is set to release new episodes on Disney+ for audiences beyond the U.K. and Ireland, but with a decreased number of episodes per season.

    Saved you a click: it’ll be 9 episodes/year.

    fwiw, that’s more than recent years but less than the earlier years (of the reboot, in particular)

      If it could be a consistent 9 eps a year, it would be a big improvement over recent years.
