Latest revision as of 09:33, 29 August 2024
Season 1 was a series of Doctor Who produced by BBC in collaboration with Sony's Bad Wolf and Disney Branded Television for streaming on Disney+.
The season re-introduced the Christmas Special which was broadcast on 25 December 2023, with the full season premiering at midnight 11 May 2024, which was 10 May in some parts of the world. As a first, this season opened with two episodes broadcast back-to-back.[1]
Due to showrunner Russell T Davies announcing in Doctor Who Magazine #585 that the series would consist of only eight episodes plus a special, this series would have an identical number of episodes to the previous Series 13, which also consisted of a reduced episode count.[2]
Overview[[edit] | [edit source]]
Early announcements[[edit] | [edit source]]
In May 2017, it was announced that due to the terms of a deal between BBC Worldwide and SMG Pictures in China, the company had right of first refusal on the purchase for the Chinese market of past and future series of the programme, as well as spin-offs.[3][4]
In October 2019, it was revealed that due to the show heading to HBO Max, the network had struck a deal for additional series of the programme.[5]
On 29 July 2021, following the announcement of Jodie Whittaker and Chris Chibnall's departure, the BBC noted, "We will announce plans for the new generation of Doctor Who in due course – watch this space!"[6]
It was announced in a big reveal by the BBC on 24 September 2021 that Russell T Davies would make his return in the 60th anniversary in 2023 and remain as head writer in "series beyond".[7][8] Like the preceding series 13[9], the series was announced as happening before the previous series had even begun broadcasting.
