In an era where diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives are getting slashed and Jimmy Kimmel is being pulled off the air, it’s not a stretch to imagine someone at Disney had qualms about a show so unapologetically queer and inclusive.

The International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) stoked debate this week over its decision to exclude Israeli state-backed organizations and films from every aspect of its 2025 edition amid growing international condemnation of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.

A wide-ranging new report heavily hints that perhaps Disney and the BBC's deal to work on 'Doctor Who' was almost set to fail from the start.

This week, the BBC confirmed the future of Doctor Who with a Christmas 2026 special written by Russell T Davies and the promise of a future season. But the announcement came alongside confirmation that the show’s partnership with Disney+ had come to an end after two seasons and upcoming spinoff The War Between the Land and the Sea.

The BBC confirmed on Tuesday that its 'Doctor Who' co-production deal with Disney had vaporized. What went wrong on the series starring Ncuti Gatwa?

When Disney teamed up with the BBC in 2022 to help bring Doctor Who to global audiences, it was pitched as a new era for the long-running sci-fi classic, one that would give the series a Marvel-style boost in scale and scope.

Doctor Who's partnership with Disney+ is finally over, and that's a very good thing for the iconic British sci-fi series.

In a new press release that also comes with a host of new images, the BBC has confirmed that the series will launch on BBC iPlayer and BBC One in December, though an exact date has not yet been revealed. The US, however, will have a little longer to wait, with the show coming to Disney Plus "in 2026."
