@@SteveAndrews-i6o They have a say in funding it, and that would change entire production, so while the whole show may continue without disney, the whole process will differ
@@mogy7331 It is not. BBC commissioned the show. It is a BBC show. RTD has said this, it remains a BBC show. Go back to the press release about the deal from the BBC Press Office and Disney are in a licensing deal. They don't commission it. BBC do, and then sell it to Disney for international distribution. Some people on here don't know how distribution deals work.
I think the midnight drop was a mutual decision between the BBC and Disney as a result of international time zones; same with the double bill premiere. As for the release dates, I think the BBC are the primary commissioner, and it would be up to their schedulers to decide exactly when it airs. I also think a “window” for transmission can be put forward by Bad Wolf (e.g. Spring), as they manage the post-production period.
I think 10 episodes for a modern series like doctor who is better. Pretty little liars, house of the dragon and the last of us should have 10 episodes, in my opinion it's even and there is better Pacing. 8 episodes seasons can feel a bit rushed at times.
From across the pond here. I love who no matter what but I like it as quirky UK sci-fi show. I don’t really want them to cater to me the people tbh. I’d rather a scaled down budget 13 ep then 8 high budget ones that seem rushed story wise.
You're right. He never will. Even after the cancelation back in 1989, there were books, audio adventures (Big Finish & BBC Audio), comics, books and all manner of merchandise. They can do that again... and never have to produce another episode of the show.
@JobbyDodger I agree with everything you just said. I'm not even watching the new episodes anymore. I stopped after "The Giggle"... and I made the choice to skip the last 2 years of Chibnall/Whittaker too. I feel a need to qualify my fan status when I talk about the show now - as in, "I'm a pre-Chris Chibnall Doctor Who fan." I have a DVD & blu ray collection with over 8,000 films and t.v. show season sets... and let me tell you, not all of them are "Citizen Kane" level quality. Some are actually really bad but something about them appealed to me. Either the title made me laugh or the cover made the movie seem better than it was or something like that. And despite their low quality... I don't regret spending money on them a lot of the time, because they're SO bad that they're good... at least for a laugh. So... while I spent real money to own films like "Terror At Blood Fart Lake" AND it's sequel, "Return To Blood Fart Lake" as well as "The Worst Horror Movie Ever Made" AND a remake of that movie by the same director (not sure what the goal was with the remake to be honest, based on that title)... but I will not be buying the RTD2 "Doctor Who" blu rays (after all, I do have some standards even though clearly, my standards are not very high). I already made the mistake of buying the Chibnall/Whittaker stuff (including the last 2 years worth of episodes that I flat-out refused to watch when they first aired on television... and at this point, I will probably never watch them. They've never even been out of the blu ray cases. I think I bought them because I hoped that RTD2 could fix what Chibnall broke and I could start watching again... and I was a completist and didn't want holes in my collection. But instead of fixing the show, RTD2 doubled down on what Chibnall did and then started making even more blunders of his own. The one good thing to come out of Chibnall and RTD's eras... is I now appreciate the older Doctor Who stories even more than I used to (which I didn't even think was possible... because I have always loved them, warts and all)... especially the classic series. I will always be willing to purchase and watch those stories.
"The Doctor will never die" Disagree here. The BBC-DEIsney Woke-Wank Mob brutally and with supreme malice killed it off with their rampant vandalization of an established, popular narrative in pursuit of pushing their identity politics agenda down everyone's throat (this series died with the 12th doctor AFAIC). What we have now is a complete bastardization of this series that's been totally hijacked to support a political agenda. Since the true end of the series the Woke-Wank Mob has been churning out boring, crap stories as this lot has not just "lost the plot" (on DEI-purpose, of course), be hasn't got the imagination or talent to come up with their own narrative where all their "DEIwoke-wanking" actually contributes to the plot/character development. So instead this ideologically-driven no-talent poseurs have opted for destroying something they don't deserve and can't possibly match, for revenge and to stroke their Grand-canyon sized you-OWE-me-Me-MEEE sense of DEIentitlement.
I'm with you adipose👍😎 I'm an amaerican, over 40 years old, i watched DW with my kids in those golden years between Doctors 9 and 12, but most people just don't understand how demographics work, or viewership compared to streams, and blah, blah, blah....😜🤣 Doctor Who ain't going anywhere, it's super profitable even if you only count merchandise 👍😎 people fret over nothing, it's not going anywhere, it might take a year off and end up on Netflix, but it's here to stay 😎👍 it's a freaking icon y'know 😜😎so don't fret fans, The Doctor will always be back 👍😜😁
Hmmm, they thought the same when it was cancelled while Sylvester was the Doctor. No Dr. Who series for 20 years. Never think it can't happen. It already has before.
That was before the Timeless Children , the disrespect to Tenant’s doctor and the attacks on long time fans. A huge number of American fans walked away…hence the last doctor season had 8 or the 10 lowest rated episodes ever. Facts. The ratings never cracked the 10 ten streaming shows and the only merchandise that sells are the doctors before Whitaker/ Nctui. This is called toxic positivity when you completely ignore the stuff that is killing the franchise and pretend that things have never been better.
Disney hasn’t made their mind up and my guess, they will pull out. I suspect they will make a third season, and to be honest I’d rather they scraped the whole thing, I’m done with new new-Who.
They write crap stories then call you a bigot for not liking them, truly. Time for the Doctor to go in extended holiday like Sylvester McCoy as the current mob have no idea what Dr Who is actually meant to be.
Season 3 is most probably shooting next year 2025. Season 2 is airing early 2025 so there is time for season 3 to air after post production in 2026, perhaps in the autumn.
YASSSSSSS! PUT US OUT OF ITS MISERY! season 3/not 16. There is no season 16 or 15 either. Disney is not leaving DW; DW failed on Disney and didn't do well and quality lower than low. They were nominated? NOT well deserved. What a joke the BAFTAs are. I laugh at their ineptitude and relatively bad taste. No one will buy those.
The video is already dated as I swear Ncuti said that season 3 is filming next year and should be released in 2026. Pretty sure he also said that he will be in series 3 as well.
You misunderstand what RTD means by uncertain about Doctor Who's future. He only means whether or not Disney+ will be involved. The question was never whether or not Doctor Who has a future. it's simply whether or not it will be Disney+ or not. Disney has absolutely no say in whether or not Doctor Who gets canceled. Whether or not it's Disney funded, Doctor Who will start filming Season 3 next year. This could even be RTD's way of holding Disney's feet to the fire, or it could be that Disney has already approved, but it hasn't been made public. RTD has already written several scripts and others in development as well as plans for Season 4. That's not something you do if you're not sure of Doctor Who's future. Disney doesn't own Doctor Who, so nothing Disney can do will cancel it. Where do you expect there be a gap year? Season 1 aired 2024. Season 2 will air 2025. Season 3 will be filmed 2025. So it's reasonable to assume Season 3 will air 2026. Unless you're saying the gap year will be in 2027, I don't see where you're getting the idea of a gap year from. I suppose if Disney doesn't resign the contract (which it seems obvious that they want to see how Season 2 does first), there could be a delay. But do you really think RTD only contacted Disney? He most likely picked several streaming services, and Disney just replied first. That also means that he has plenty more planned in case Disney doesn't want to continue.
Are you serious? Is there more than thirty fans left? is a more pertinent question. Why would any company waste money on this sort of crap just to satisfy a minority.

Disney distribute it they dont own it likely prime video, netfkix may be hired out to next up if disney dont want to anymore .... Though im sure theyll likeky renew it as it did "decent" for viewership Dr Who is going to be fine it wont be PEAK like 2005-11/13-14/17-20 vibes 2023 was its last real push vibes ....but yeah 20 years and itll outlive the original classic run and beyond .....i say bring it on whatever it looks like as long as its better imo than what we had this year 💙💙 (Chibnall nailed it with 10 hours of dr who per series perfect pacing and oerfect era imo ✨)
More likely to end up with HBO/Max in the US. That's where series 1-13 live in the States. RTD and Bad Wolf have a good, existing relationship with them (with Industry and His Dark Materials co-produced by Bad Wolf and HBO) and it'd be good to have it all in one place, like the Beeb does with iPlayer. They don't have Disney's international distribution clout, but it's never stopped everyone in the world being able to see GoT. :D
If RTD does walk away (fingers cross) Maybe it is time to get someone who isn't a BIG DW fan, but knows how to write good Sci-Fi stories, to run the show

The series is co-commissioned by Disney and BBC with Disney being the primary commissioner. That's why Disney chooses the release time.

Disney don’t “commission” season three. They just distribute it. The say-so remains with the BBC.
I moment as I heard it was a team up between the BBC and Disney I knew Who was doomed.
I wouldn't take what Ncuti Gatwa says as gospel. If it really were being commissioned, it would be more than him saying that.
