Doctor Who Boss Russell T Davies Has Written “Multiple Versions” Of 2026 Christmas Special Amid Show’s Unknown Future

The latest season of Doctor Who streamed simultaneously on Disney+ and the BBC, with Russell T. Davies – who successfully relaunched the show in 2005 – returning as showrunner. After two seasons, the show ended, reportedly due to low viewership numbers, rising production costs, and controversial creative decisions. Following the cancellation, Ncuti Gatwa, who played the Doctor, departed the series, and the character unexpectedly regenerated into Billie Piper, a former companion.
