Binge-watching Doctor Who just got a lot harder

The BBC is partnering with Disney to bring upcoming episodes ofto the Disney Plus streaming platform for global audiences, complete with a brand-new logo inspired by Tom Baker’s era as the galaxy-traveling timelord. But it’s also going to make it way harder to binge-watch the show.becoming the exclusive home for new seasons ofwill return to screens in November 2023 to coincide with the 60th anniversary, premiering exclusively on the BBC for the UK and Ireland.

In case you missed the recent finale that ended Jodie Whittaker’s run as the Thirteenth Doctor, David Tennant will be returning to play the Fourteenth Doctor for three specials before Ncuti Gatwa takes up the TARDIS’s helm as the Fifteenth Doctor. Afor those who want an early look at Gatwa’s version of the timelord, and Russell T. Davies will also be returning as a showrunner for season 14 after successfully rebooting the British sci-fi classic back in 2005.

But today's announcement of a partnership between BBC and Disney Plus only refers to episodes being aired from 2023 onward, which means you’ll still need a subscription to HBO Max to watch existing episodes in the US, while UK-based fans of the show can watch seasons 1–13 on BBC iPlayer. So, outside of the UK, you’ll need to maintain two streaming service subscriptions to have access to the series in its entirety.

That's why torrents exist... 🤣

Russell T. Davies returning. Expect a lot of characters running, mainly to kill time. 'Who' desperately needs some new, talented, blood and this doesn't seem like it. (Not a reference to the new Doctor.)

Meh. Disney will take the back catalog once HBO’s rights revert.

Old is still gold

Just waiting for the woke Dr Who, typical new age crap will be bisexual/gay/lez one of those, and most likely a person of color, just to create some race hate and some gay kissing 🤣 new shows and movies suck compared to the good old ones

Verge, you know what you're doing with this picture and that headline.

A black and gay doctor who should be on Netflix!

how is it 2022 & y'all still calling its return in 2005 a reboot, pls learn basic television terminology before writing about television thx

What about outside of the US and UK where we don’t have HBO Max?

But whyyyyyyyyy?
