The viewership for Doctor Who is down in its current season and the Disney deal is about to end. Will the TARDIS get put in mothballs?
What Is It?
This series follows the time traveler known as the Doctor, who comes from a race of Time Lords living on the planet Gallifrey. The Doctor helps those threatened by other time travelers or nefarious alien races and undergoes transformations from time to time when mortally injured. The Doctor also tends to bring companions along in adventures through time and space.

Why Is It in Danger?
Doctor Who–including the classic series–is the longest running sci fi and fantasy television show in the world, but it may be coming to an end for a second time (the original series was cancelled in 1989, then revived in 2005). The most recent season–the second or the fifteenth depending on which numbering you prefer–has seen a viewership drop to all-time lows and the future of the series is currently in doubt. The numbers for Ncuti Gatwa’s second year as the Doctor are down by around half a million viewers per episode from his first season for the BBC airings, and the show did not make it into the Nielsen Streaming Rankings for its run on Disney+. In addition, the deal that Disney had in place to partner on the series is coming to an end, and it appears that the Mouse House is not interested in renewing it.
Current showrunner Russel T. Davies has plans in place to carry the Doctor through at least three more seasons, though he has also suggested that the series could have a “pause”. He himself has been blamed for the declining viewership due to the political and social commentaries he has injected into the show (some will call it “woke” politics). Others are not happy about the campy, family-friendly direction of the show, but it certainly seems unlikely that such a long-lived series would just come to an end without giving it more of a chance.
But the fact is, that each Doctor’s regeneration gives the show a chance to reboot itself. And Ncuti Gatwa is departing from the role after two seasons (with a surprise reveal that I will not fully spoil), and the opportunity is there to take things in a different direction. If the powers-that-be decide that Russell T. Davis is to blame for the poor viewership, they can replace him and move on with a different creative team. And there are rumors that both Netflix and HBO have shown an interest in partnering with the BBC on this property. So my guess is that the Doctor has not seen his (her) final regeneration yet. But I would not be surprised if there is a pause of at least a couple of years to sort things out and determine a new direction. The spin-off series The War Between the Land and the Sea is scheduled to arrive later this year or at in 2026, and that may tide fans over as they decide which course the main series will follow.
What Can Fans Do to Help the Show?
The best thing that fans can do at this point is watch the show. In the U.S., they can watch all of the revival seasons on Disney+, and I believe the most recent seasons are there in the UK as well (prior revival seasons are available on BBC iPlayer). They should also get it trending on the social networks to bring it more attention. Viewership was down for the most recent season, but if the fans make enough noise and stage watch parties, they can prove that there is still a large audience out there. Doctor Who has survived through 31 seasons so far, and it seems unlikely that it will go down without a fight. But the fans need to prove that they want the show to continue (even if they don’t care for the recent seasons) in order for this one to avoid an extended hiatus or possibly even cancellation.

doctor who has had problems since they made him a her.
then the bi-generation thing.
then the whole hugging, kissing and i love yous. these were just fillers because the writers couldn’t think of anything interesting for the cast to do or say?
this is a essentially a children’s show. we don’t watch it for bedroom politics.
filming in a nightclub, drinking cocktails, alleged sexual abuse, these are all inappropriate for a children’s show.
where was the action? where was the witty dialogue?
You think that was the issue with the Jodie series? Did you even watch it? It wasn’t that the writers and showrunner were crap and tried to fit in the stories of 3 companions every episode plus whoever the guest star single episode character and the Doctor had little to do most of the time. No it wasn’t that at all it was because it was a woman. Sod off with that nonsense.
Elisabeth Sladen was NOT The Doctor. Paul McGann is who you’re looking for. Technically, John Hurt and Jo Martin can be added.
Doctor Who has been Doctor Who in name only since 2017.
I’m a fan of almost 50 years, and the last decade have been a sad embarrassment.
The show badly needs a rest and a long one.
I stopped watching it cause we couldn’t afford Disney + and I cannot watch it anywhere else. I was able to watch it all the way up until it went onto Disney.
Let’s be honest just for once.
In an attempt to be woke, politically correct and inclusive Doctor Who has taken a direction that many of its core viewership find difficult to accept.
I thought having a female Doctor was a good idea. An acceptable new direction.
Jodie Whittaker played rhe Doctor in similar vein to David Tennant and Matt Smith with a kind of swaggering ,swashbuckling approach.
But the scripts were poor.
Ncuti Gatwa, although he is a very fine actor was in hindsight and in my opinion a very bad choice ..
Again it comes ba ck to core opinions.
The ideal of a black gay Doctor was for many just a step to far for many viewers , including to be honest, myself. It just wasn’t right for many fans.
Ecclestone , Tennant and Smith all had that certain je ne sais quoi and a , dare I say it , sex appeal that fairly obviously Capaldi, Whittaker and Gatwa weren’t anywhere near capable of emulating.
The powers to be behind Doctor Who need to recapture the essential elements of the Doctor somehow and especially need to forget about trying to inclusive because whilst they might have drawn in viwers of a different demographic they’ve also clearly succeeded in alienating the majority of fans whose devotion to the show has made it so successful.
I know that some of my comments will be seen as controversial and probably offensive to some people but I am, as loyal viewer and a licence payer entitled to my opinion.
Couldn’t put it better…
they definitely put him being gay as his personality. hartnell was a grumpy old man, troughton his flute and playfulness, pertwee his dandy look and bessie and “reverse the polarity” tom baker his jelly babies, smile and scarf, davison his youth, cricket and celery, colin baker his mean streak amd costume, mccoy his idiot savant and umbrella, eccleston his leather jacket and dry wit, tennnet his energy and wit, smith his quick temper and playfulness, even capaldi had some personality. but from whittaker and gatwa it was just their gender and sexuality. gatwa had some great storylines, but he spent the entire episode hugging, kissing, giving lovey dovey eyes and say i love you. it was boring and one dimensional. he could have been fantastic and his pinstripe denim kilt should have been his costume, that was an amazing costume. he wasn’t poorly cast, they just made his personality the gay doctor, when he could have been much more. both eccleston and tennant had gay moments with captain jack harkness, but it wasn’t their whole personality.
Just like in America when someone starts or ends a thought with “I am a tax payer..” in this case some a “license payer” that person is about to be a hole of the A variety. No one is entitled to anything, that’s the problem with the human race you think you’re all so entitled to everything. No one owes you a thing not a silly entertainment show, not any person, not the planet, nor your god. Just a planet of adorable selfish entitled children. It’s definitely entertaining and I don’t even pay a license fee to enjoy it.
I have loved Doctor Who for many years. I have enjoyed some Doctors and storylines more than others, but the changes keep it interesting. As far as the show going “woke,” I think it always has been ahead of its time.

It is time for Doctor Who to finally come to the United States of America.
We should bring the Doctor to the US.
But still use the Blue Box.
I know that we could come up with great stories for a new generation.
And if the people reading this can’t come up with great stories, Hire Me.
NOPE. he is NOT american. disney ruined it. americans ruin a lot of good british shows. red dwarf, men behaving badly, life on mars, are you being served, benidorm, broadchurch, the it crowd, miranda ….
I used to be able to watch DR Who on PBS when they had it but they stop carrying it after Peter Calapuals for some reason so I had to get it at Walmart or some where else through a DVD magazine that showed the ones I could not see sent I don’t have Cable and only antenna TV to see it . I bought jo wither dr who at Walmart or from DVD magazine that had since I couldn’t see it on antenna TV so I had to buy it and I will have to buy the fiveteen dr who at Walmart or through DVD magazine if they have it plus the bit with David Tennant and his companion Donna knobl for the 60th reunion that had the toymaker and other stories.
Actually Disney+ has not commented one way or the other if they are dropping it. They are probably waiting for the final streaming numbers to come in. Also according to the BBC they are not canceling it because it still is a money maker for them in marketing.
Your reporting seems off.
I didn’t say that Disney is dropping it or that BBC is cancelling it. I am reporting on rumors that are floating around and trying to provide as much solid info as possible as well as actions that fans can take.
The viewership died when the show went “woke”. Seems “woke” people don’t watch Dr Who. Return it to it’s original and viewers will respond. Also, put it back on BBC where the masses that enjoyed it in the first place can enjoy it again. Wake ul people Disney broke Marvel and Dr Who.
Excellent! I couldn’t have put it better!
Degenerate woke is destroying Doctor Who, Have watched it since it was FIRST broadcast in America.
They have destroyed this show by going extremely woke with it. It’s a real slap in the face to the old show. RIP, Dr. Who 🙁
I lost interest (but not hope) when Jodie Whitaker was cast. I do like RTD bringing back classic villains like Sutek, the Rani, and Omega. I think they just need to go back to the formula that worked best & what made it a global success, not try anything too experimental or groundbreaking.
Devoted fan who will follow Dr Who anywhere.
Dr. Who should not be canceled. IT is a cornerstone of science fiction programs. I was born in 1952 i have been watching my whole life it would be ashamed if it were canceled.
Bring back the great villains! Dale’s, Cybermen, and the old villains from time to time. The sound of the Matt Smith era Cybermen march was awesome! I loved the quirky lovable doctors of Matt Smith and David Tennant. You could tell they had been alive forever and had experience. Then you threw a serious more dark doctor like Peter Capaldi. The rest of them after that have not really worked for me. I do keep watching. This last doctor wa ok, but we need to go to the roots from time to time to keep it alive. The companions have been good, but they cannot hold the show.
You’re starring list is inaccurate. Elisabeth Sladen was never a Doctor. In her place you should have Paul McGann. You might also consider adding John Hurt and Jo Martin.
I started watching Dr. Who with Chris Eccleston (I was unaware of the show’s long history). He was fun, but I had barely learned the premise of the show, before he was gone. David Tennant, what fun and still one of my favorites. Then Matt Smith, another very physical actor who made every episode very enjoyable and the writing was superb, especiallywhen he got to do long heartfelt speeches. I liked Peter Capaldi, Jodie Whitaker, David T. again, but then…..all of the sudden, I had to pay to watch it on Disney. At the same time, I felt like I was being told that not only was an alternative lifestyle and woke agenda the “norm”, that I was wrong for not subscribing to that lifestyle. Ncuti is a great performer, and given less “in your face” woke storylines, he could’ve been one of the greats. I truly felt the sadness and appreciation he was expressing in his farewell scene. I would love to see the show continue, as it is one of my all time favorites. You have had great stories over the past 20 years, but in your bending over backwards to be politically correct, you have lost much of the magic that made it so very enjoyable. Please don’t cancel it, and recognize the reduced viewership as the result of one of the biggest mistakes that so many entertainers have made before… the failure to understand why you have lost the bulk of your audience, the inability to “know your audience”. To quote another favorite show of mine, “Live long and prosper”, Dr. Who!
I have been watching Dr. Who since 1966! I look forward for every new doctor! Don’t quit now!
It time for the Dr to go to a later slot and make it a little more adult. I’ve been watching since 63, the initial reboot was really good, but it has become the story of the sonic screw driver, the get out card for everything. With Apple TV doing some really good serious SiFi, Dr who should go down the more serious route, the latest Dr’s just come across as time traveling clowns. I only watched the Jodie Whittaker for a couple of episodes, it just didn’t work for me, so I stopped watching, the whole series felt like it was skipping back to the late 70’s, uninteresting stories and cheap special effects. Maybe Netflix can inject some real drama into this once fantastic franchise, I think it’s trying to appeal to a too broader audience, it needs to decide what audience it wants.
They stuffed it by going woke instead of just being a time lord
Too much DEI bull crap…the Dr. was good sci-fi that made you a little scared,a lot happy,and maybe opened up a new thought stream..politics was only a plot device not a sermon or brainwashing!!
Stopped watching when David Tennent’s run was over.
The whole chicken little of the internet bloggers and journalists is infuriating. The show is still doing better numbers than shows that have run on network TV in the states for years. The BBC will look for a new international distributor sure. They already have a deal for all past seasons on HBO Max. The series from 10th to the 15th doctor are there now and have been for years now. If WB is interested in sharing the budget for the next season seems like it would be an easy deal to make. I don’t know what kind of steaming numbers it pulls on HBO Max but it currently has no presence on Netflix at all. Seems the streaming audience would be built in on Max and Zaslov would have to make minimal investment most likely. If not it will live on the BBC and BBC I player. Not sure what everyone’s issue is with Disney and Who they had no creative input whatsoever. If you have problems it should be with RTD. Frankly the Disney, Hulu, HBO Max bundle is the best streaming option you can get for the money. I mean unless you like Wal Mart DVD Bargain bin Netflix garbage. A company that only cares about bottom line and quantity over quality, they have the occasional good series but few and far between and drop significantly in quality of they mage to not get cancelled after 1 to 2 seasons. I would hate to see Who go to Netflix, it might last 2 seasons then Netflix will cancel whether it does well or not and we will be seeing articles like this in our feed all over again.
I think Dr who still has a future and be given another chance and should not be cancelled my opinion
I fully agree with you, and I think the current star Ncuti Gatwa is just really getting to meet his style of Doctor, and with his constant tears now behind him, I do believe he has something more to add to his rendition of Doctor who.
We watch the old ones and have the newer ones on dvd like David Tennant. We don’t like the new doctor who and woke. No thanks. Cancel and start over.
At 58 I have seen allot to the Doctor. In the original series there was two Doctors I didn’t care for.
In the modern run it had become the horrible plots and writing that made me lose interest.our last two Doctors were fine actors but they got crap work with. Even most of their companions were awful.
I started watching doctor who in 2005 and I instantly loved the show at the time I thought it was a new show and I didn’t know that it started in the 1960’s. I’ve loved each Doctor that has come along with each regeneration it’s hard to pick a favorite if I had to pick it would be the 9th Doctor or the 12th. But like I said this show has been around since the 60’s yeah it took a break in the late 80’s but a show that’s been around this long there’s a certain formula to it. I love this show I used to watch it late at night with my mom and I loved watching it with her. Please don’t cancel this show. Do what you can to keep it on the air. There are very few shows and movies that I like now and this is one of them.
I love Dr Who. Currently watching Jodie Whittaker who is fun and energetic. I didn’t like having to subscribe to Disney to watch it. Ncuti is a great actor but I thought the writing was poor. He would have been so much better with decent stories. I’m in Australia and I can’t get BBC player. Up to the latest dr the series were on our Australian Broadcasting Commission. I guess with Disney involved our ABC couldn’t afford it. I hope it doesn’t finish.
Stopped watching DrWho after Matt Smith played the role. Russell T Davies took a gamble which didn’t pay off. That with poor storylines has left die hard DrWho fans incensed and viewer ratings plummet. You mess with a Long established franchise at your own Peril.
It needs to be on free to air TV, not pay channels. It is the best scifi series and deals with important social issues without being woke.
It is the waste of space way the last dr was portrayed. We do not want woke Dr Who’s or a man who portrays him that way. It went way of line also the writers lost the plot. Get it back to the way things were and the viewing figures will revive. Stop trying to mend something that was not broken and taking it in the completely wrong direction.
I think (she) needs to address as her alternate code name instead of her original name.
I’ve watched Dr Who for almost all of my 54 yrs.
Its not the actors who play the Dr, its the writers or what the writers have been told to include in the story lines.
I dont need new world issues I’ll call it, with all their wants and how their problems have to be heard and take centre stage in the story lines.
Its science fiction Disney, surely you can see that so lets keep it as that.
That is why I lost interest very quickly and I think so have many other fans.
I maybe wrong but I dont think I am, I will probably get some comments on my post but they are my thoughts and mine alone.
I watch Dr Who to escape from all the crap that is going on in the world, and I think so does every other person who loves Dr Who.
We need Daleks, The Master, Cybermen, Weeping Angels and the list goes on.
We don’t need real life issues and that list would never end.
I have watched Doctor who all my life with exception to the current series as I live in Australia and don’t have Disney plus. It should return to ABC Australia as it used to be so it can be watched by all of us.
Tomorrow I am going to leave Disney and Hulu since the Doctor was my reason for Disney. Now the Doctor was ended by Disney and I don’t need it. I will keep Max because the doctor from 2005 up to and include Jodie Whittaker and I enjoy now rewatching it again. I really enjoyed Ncuti Gatwa it all was a fresh Doctor and if the reason for stopping Disney with it was because of “woke” how stupidly sad. I loved it all being new and fun. I just hope Mac gets BBC to run again now. I have seen all Doctor from 1963 meetings. It has to continue.
Without deleks, cyberpunk, weeping angels, ice warriors, zygons, sontarians and judoon to name a few ratings dropped no oldie but goodie to keep show alive, the doctor was too emotional did not help
It was woke that broke the Doctor!
Dr. Who? Don’t you mean Dr. Why? Ncuti Gatwa’s Doctor is the dullest yet — all “woke and vogue” fashion that changes every week, only to fade into forgettable nonsense. Can we please get someone with personality again? Someone like Tom Baker, Matt Smith, or even the overbearing David Tennant. I don’t care if the Doctor’s ethnic, female, or whatever — just give us a character with one well-worn outfit, a mysterious edge, stumbling through time with companions who think they can outsmart him. He always pulls it off in the end, and leaves us wondering what’s next. You know… the magic that actually made the show great. ~d
I have said this on other platforms: there is no reason to shove alternate lifestyle ideas down peoples’ throats. A good writer can subtly suggest without using an over the top agenda that is more alienating than inclusive. If Doctor Who only wants LGTBQ+ as an audience, good luck to them being successful. If writers and show runners concentrated on good stories rather than awkward and mediocre fare that pushes the wants of the 10%,then just say so. If they want larger numbers they have to stop alienating moderates and conservatives, who make up the largest percentage of a potential audience. Sci-fi and fun sells. Preachy ultra liberalism does not.
How can you flash Billie Pipers face and then not continue the story? Doctor Who is a is an amazing tale that deserves to be continued. What a facinating story of change, growth and drama…and science. The show allows us to see how other people live in the universe together and it should inspire us to do the same. Do not remove a shining example of how humans can find a way to communicate then move forward together in peace.
Doctor Who must live on!
Long live the Timelords!
Who would have thunk it, a dress wearing, gay Doctor Who wasn’t a smashing success? Shocking.
I think a pause would be good. TBH, the show has become dated and needs a complete reboot. It has become childish and wokey. Moving to Disney hasn’t helped. I was one of those kids in the 60’s who used to hide behind the settee when the Daleks and Cyberman appeared. Now it’s mostly just silly and not scary I’m sad to say. RTD need to step aside. Learn from Stranger Things. It’s ok to be scary. Blink has been the episode since the reintroduction. More like that please!
Actually, Doctor who did it to itself. They did more preaching in a lot of shows than they did selling a good story. I’m not saying having a show here and there to call out something that needs to be mentioned isn’t bad. But when you do it on a show after show after show ad nauseam people don’t want to watch anymore.
Doctor who seems to have taken up some issues that are only handled by the 10% and made him a thing in every show. Doctor who disenfranchised 90% of their viewers. Will do to be fair they probably did some franchise 40% because about 60% are of the demographic that like to hear that.
I like the shows from the ’70s, they were very well written for the most part. I mean with Douglas Adams how can you go wrong.
The same is true in the 2005 to 2015 era, was Stephen Moffitt how can you go wrong. They told some very good and very interesting stories.
They also showed a progression of doctor whose personality. But after that they just kept getting more and more political until people didn’t want to watch it anymore.
My suggestion..
Pause RTD for a while. Bring Stephen moffett back. Bring back our TD with the understanding that it’s going to be mostly stories and less political. And I bet they get their whole audience back.
Me, myself, and I: I refuse to subscribe or watch anything on Disney+/whatever. I wonder if that’s part of it. Let it get “canceled,” and brought back on a proper channel, like BBC America, where it seemed to thrive for years. And personally, I quite liked Jodie Whitaker as the Dr. 😁
Obviously with david tennants personality and charisma and good-looks he was by far the most popular doctor , so there is your answer get david tennant back or a actor with his talent , skills and popularity
I refuse to subscribe to a cable provider and they probably went to streaming distribution in the states due to loss of ratings and ad revenue from the shrinking number of people having satellite or cable that carry BBC America. My issue with the Disney wasn’t that it was on Disney because part of the deal was they had no creative input it was all RTD he, himself, and him, but that the Streaming home of The Doctor for many many years now is HBO Max, and still is for Eccelston to Whittaker why would you make a deal with a company to continue your show when your fan base has been watching it on a different service because of a long term licensing deal you made with them. Did they even talk to WB before Disney? I was iffy on the whole thing because of RTD anyways I was always more of a Moffat guy if they were going to bring an old showrunner back. Now we have to deal with retconning or wrapping up in some satisfying way the self indulgent nonsense he pulled with the arc and the lore.
I didn’t watch it because I had no intention to pay to watch something that had previously had been free. I pay enough for cable without having to pay even more to get it streamed. Put back on BBC and I will watch it again . you underestimated how much someone is willing to pay to watch it. Your arrogance is what has cost you your viewership.
The shows decline began with Capaldi. He was extremely “undoctor like” in how he acted and the writing was not on par with that for the three prior doctors.
But the real decline occurred with beginning of the woke agenda that started with Whitaker’s doctor, but her replacement. His acting was terrible and he clearly only took the role as a stepping stone, he clearly wanted to cash in on the “popularity” of doctor who to further his career. Ironically, he, and the woke, disgusting, liberal agenda destroyed the popularity of the show he was using to further his career. Even bringing back Tenant, the best modern doctor in my opinion, couldn’t help the show because of the ridiculous, pathetic, woke writing. The show is dead, hopefully no network will pick it up, because it doesn’t deserve to be on the air anymore.
Yes, I watched each and every episode since the revival. While I do like Ncuti Gatwa, things really felt off. Not because he is black and not because he is gay. It was just off.
1. He felt like a supporting character in his own show. I read he had limited availability in his first season do to other obligations. If he did have conflicting obligations, shooting should have been delayed or he should not have been cast. Ruby Sunday was the star of his first season. She would have been a good Doctor, except she was the companion.
2. He was not given his own defining Doctor look. Each Doctor has a distinct look that is truly a vital part off the character’s current regenerated form. Instead, he seemed to have a fashion of the week. Not very Who of him.
3. HBO or Netflix would be great and Billie Piper is a fun choice. She and Tenant had great chemistry– the best duo of the reboot era– and should have at least one outing together, as technically they are now both the Doctor thanks to that weird bi-generation thing. Both actually exist in human form and Doctor form, so they could come face-to-face with their doppelganger. There are some great possibilities that would be an absolute delight to fans.
Most of the original episodes are also available in the UK on the BBC iPlayer, as well as Doctor Who Confidential and Doctor Who Unleashed, the behind the scenes programmes covering recent episodes. Some haven’t survived but if you want the history of the time lord they are worth watching.
They put too much hollywoodi in it .bring back the Rubber suited monsters and for goodness sake stop charging people too watch it. I looked for the jodi episodes to give it a chance but only available with paid subscription.that is Killing the ratings oh and get out of all the woke confortable crap. The doctor was always more scientific .he Led the viewer .lifestyle tends never dictateur what he did
Doctor Who is the Gr8est show on this planet period.
Literally rewatching Doctor Who right now, with Peter. I’ve seen every episode from the beginning of the Who series and I have to admit my favorites are David thru Jodie. I watched the new 2 seasons with Ncuti. I purposely got Disney too be able to watch it. I’m sorry but I wasn’t impressed. He’s a VERY TALENTED ACTOR. However, they’re changing something that has worked for generations. I’m almost 60 and not everyone needs all this change!
I quit watching because I can’t afford to subscribe to Disney. Go back to airing on BBCA and I’ll be watching.
Put Dr who on the on a channel that everyone can
Get you will have more people watching it not everyone can pay for the channel
I’ve been watching since the 1970s. I love the show. Hope it keeps going. I’ve introduced it to my kids and grandkids. It’s hard to watch on Disney without subscription.
The problem started in Jodie’s era. But went full out when Ncuti was the Doctor.
The story took last place to the ‘woke’ messaging. Which was unnecessary.
Doctor who has always been inclusive and political. That was fine.
The problem was never the actors, not Jodie nor Ncuti.
People left because it was no longer Doctor Who.
It is a shame, I quite like Jodie myself. But the stories took a nosedive from her start.
Perfectly summed up brother. 🫡 Get back to the real Doc roots, we dont care what the Drs sexual preferences are, nor should it be slammed in our faces. IMO the Doctor Who producers and directors are pushing the DEI and woke subjects hard and its unfortunately for them NOT ehat the majority of the public wants to see. If they visited the topic every so often? Different story. But noooooo gotta cater to the minority of viewers
I don’t think that It started with
Jodie –
In My Opinion – IT started with Changing Networks – They should
of left it on BBC – Everyone can see
The Show Series – So I wish that They
Put it back on BBC – So EVERYONE
CAN SEE THE PROGRAM AND I FOR ONE MISS THE SHOW VERY MUCH!!
