'Doctor Who' gets a 2026 Christmas lifeline as BBC ends Disney+ partnership

Highlights:

  • A new Doctor Who Christmas special is confirmed for 2026, written by Russell T Davies.
  • The BBC’s global partnership with Disney+ has ended after two seasons.
  • The BBC says it’s “fully committed” and will announce full series plans later.
  • Spin-off ‘The War Between the Land and the Sea’ and a CBeebies animation are still on the way.

Looks like the Doctor will be making another Christmas stop. The BBC says Doctor Who will return in 2026 with a festive special, a quiet way of telling fans the TARDIS isn’t going anywhere, even as its deal with Disney+ ends.

The announcement ends months of speculation about the sci-fi institution, which hasn't been on screen since Ncuti Gatwa’s final episode in May, which ended with the surprise appearance of Billie Piper. The special will be written by showrunner Russell T Davies, but the big news is the end of the Disney+ deal, which had handled the show’s distribution outside the UK since 2022.
