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]

I'm aware that this past Monday they were supposed to be filming Block 3 with Julie Anne Robinson but Lukas DiSparrow has Mark Tonderai on his CV so perhaps it was a studio pick-up. Tonderai remains present for the editing process after principal photography.. Archived from the original on 2024-05-26.

  94. @DoctorWhoPN (2023-03-17). Yes, I am aware of this. I am following the same toddler and also a female toddler who was apparently also hired for some filming at Wolf Studios. Due to the tender age of the actors, that's all I'm willing to divulge.. Archived from the original on 2024-05-26.
  95. @DoctorWhoPN (2023-03-05). They typically film Monday through Friday. The trick is to know where.
    Wolf Studios was looking for a toddler for filming starting March 16 but I don't know where or whether it was for Doctor Who.
