Doctor Who fans are decrying the “Disney-fication” of Doctor Who, as Disney is helping to bankroll; the long-running BBC. But with less than stellar ratings and audience score, how long will Disney be willing to bankroll this EXPENSIVE sci-fi series… especially since they even own it?
Additional Context:
The involvement of Disney in the production of “Doctor Who” has brought some changes, particularly in the introduction of Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor. Disney’s influence was evident in the show’s recent Christmas special, “The Church on Ruby Road,” where they suggested including a scene to introduce Gatwa’s Doctor earlier in the episode. This intervention by Disney ensured that Gatwa’s character was featured as soon as possible, a move that was well-received and aligned with showrunner Russell T. Davies’ vision for the series.
Regarding the speculation about the future of “Doctor Who” and Ncuti Gatwa’s tenure as the Doctor, there isn’t specific information available about the show’s end after 2025 or the duration of Disney’s financial involvement. However, Disney’s participation, especially in the international distribution of the show, marks a significant shift in the series’ production and presentation. This change is part of a broader trend where major streaming platforms are playing increasingly influential roles in the production and distribution of popular television series.
The collaboration between Disney and “Doctor Who” is a noteworthy development, considering the show’s long-standing cultural significance and Disney’s global media influence. As with any major change, this partnership is likely to bring new dynamics to the series, potentially impacting its creative direction and international reach.
