Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies gives hilariously cryptic response when asked about the sci-fi show's future: "Behave!" "The plans for Doctor Who are really simply this: the BBC and BBC Studios had a partnership with Disney + for 26 episodes," she continued, "We are currently 21 episodes down into that 26-episode run. We have got another five episodes of [spin-off series] The War Between The Land And The Sea to come. At some point after that, decisions will be made together with all of us about what the future of Doctor Who entails." The producer argued that "it's a 60-year-old franchise" that has been going on "for 20 years nonstop" since being brought back in 2005, so changes are to be expected. "Nothing continues the same always, or it shouldn't continue the same always. So it will change in some form or another. But the one thing we can all be really clear of is that the Doctor will be back and everyone, including me, including all of us, just has to wait patiently to see when – and who," she concluded. Since the latest episode aired in late May, showing Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor regenerating into Doctor Who alum Billie Piper, fans have been worrying about the future of the iconic British show. "We don't know what's happening yet," showrunner Russell T Davies said in June , assuring fans that this wasn't "the end" for the show. The BBC has since said that Doctor Who will continue "with or without" Disney , who released the last two seasons outside the UK through Disney Plus.
