Disney Ended Doctor Who Partnership
Disney has exited the Doctor Who business, ending its partnership with the BBC on future seasons of the show.
A new report from Deadline reveals three reasons for the breakup: ratings, budget, and MAGA politics.
- Ratings: The two Doctor Who seasons on Disney+ did not generate the expected ratings.
- Budget: The cost of producing the show was a factor in the decision.
- MAGA politics: The show's involvement in political issues was also a reason for the breakup.
There is more to that role than performing
The past season, which began in April 2025, failed to register on Nielsen and Luminate’s streaming charts, and the two seasons with Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor never reached the ratings of the last season with Jodie Whittaker in 2021.
Author's summary: Disney ended its Doctor Who partnership due to low ratings and other factors.
