‘Doctor Who’ Is Officially Preparing for Its Next Era

June 10, 2026, was the darkest day in the Whoniverse calendar since December 6, 1989. This was the day that it was confirmed that Doctor Whohad been put out to competitive tender, with now-former showrunner Russell T. Davies leaving the series after unsuccessfully returning to helm the controversial Disney era. This era, plagued by fan frustration and controversy, ended in its biggest maelstrom, as new Time Lord Ncuti Gatwa exited under strange circumstances, seemingly early, after it was previously reported that he would film a third season.
