The upcoming developments promise a vibrant and exciting future for the beloved sci-fi series. To start, the return of David Tennant, adored by fans for his previous portrayal of the Tenth Doctor, marks the show\u2019s anniversary with three special episodes. Tennant will embody a wholly new incarnation, now the fourteenth Doctor. Alongside Tennant\u2019s return, Ncuti Gatwa will take on the iconic role as the Fifteenth Doctor, beginning with Christmas 2023 and spanning at least two seasons.<\/p>\n<p>However, these changes aren\u2019t the only cause for enthusiasm within the Doctor Who community. In a groundbreaking partnership, the BBC and Disney have joined forces to propel the next chapter of the Whoniverse. This collaboration signifies a significant boost in resources, with Disney Plus set to exclusively stream new episodes internationally, thanks to the infusion of support from the entertainment giant.<\/p>\n<p>For eager fans anticipating the Doctor\u2019s adventures on Disney Plus, the timeline is set. The Doctor\u2019s journey across time and space will begin on Nov. 25, 2023, with the release of Tennant\u2019s first special, \u201cThe Star Beast.\u201d American viewers can catch the premiere at 10:30 a.m. PT\/1:30 p.m. ET, aligning with the BBC One airtime of 6:30 p.m. in the U.K. Subsequent specials will follow, airing weekly on the next two Saturdays \u2014 Dec. 2 and Dec. 9, coinciding with Doctor Who\u2019s birthday on Nov. 23, making it a perfect celebration for the new era.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s essential to note that, as of November 2023, past seasons of the modern Doctor Who series aren\u2019t yet available on Disney Plus. Fans hoping for a comprehensive library spanning from Christopher Eccleston\u2019s tenure to Jodie Whittaker\u2019s reign will have to seek alternatives. In the U.S., HBO Max offers streaming of the modern series, while BBC iPlayer caters to U.K. audiences. For classic Doctor Who, BritBox remains a go-to platform, accessible in multiple countries including the U.K., U.S., Canada, and Australia via an Amazon Prime subscription.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doctor Who, a monumental part of television history, is set to undergo a significant transformation in its 60-year legacy in\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":13029,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[68],"tags":[2004],"class_list":["post-13028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tv","tag-doctor-who"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13028","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13028"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13028\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13028"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13028"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13028"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
