Rumor Claims ‘Doctor Who’ Is Dead at Disney, But BBC Is Close to Finding a New Home for the Show

The Doctor Who series has been in a strange place for some time now. With the changes implemented in the show, the fandom has been divided, while the critics have been amazed. A the same time, viewership numbers have been fluctuating.

The show’s current run at Disney seems to have come to an end, as per the latest rumors, but a new rumor claims that the show is still alive!

Namely, according to the rumor we have, Disney is letting go of Doctor Who, but that does not mean that BBC is giving up on the show; in fact, it seems that they are very close to finding a new home for the series.

The source of this information is Daniel Richtman, who shared it via his social media account, as you can see:

So, amidst the rumors that Disney is canceling Doctor Who, it seems that the series is not completely over. Sure, it seems that Disney is – indeed – letting go of Doctor Who, but it seems that this will not be the end of the series.

BBC is still planning on producing more episodes and they are actively searching for a new home for the series, and according to the rumor, they are very close to striking a deal with the new streamer.

At this moment, we don’t know which streamer it is and we also don’t know who the next Doctor will be, but it seems that the future is promising, which is great news.
