In an exciting development for fans, the corporation has confirmed that production on Doctor Who is officially secured until at least 2025, guaranteeing more time-travelling adventures for the foreseeable future.
Davies' Era Extended
At the helm of this extended journey remains the celebrated showrunner, Russell T Davies. The mastermind behind the show's initial revival in 2005 has signed on to continue steering the TARDIS, with his tenure now confirmed to extend beyond the upcoming seasons.
This commitment signals a strong vote of confidence from the BBC in Davies' creative vision for the iconic series.
Gatwa's Run Continues

With production for the next season already underway, fans can expect Gatwa's Doctor to face new and formidable foes across time and space.
Behind the Scenes Security
The news emerged from a BBC Studios presentation to the BBC Board, which highlighted the health and future of its key drama brands. The confirmation of Doctor Who's production schedule provides crucial stability for the large Cardiff-based team, from writers and directors to the extensive crew at Wolf Studios.
This long-term planning is often a hallmark of a show in robust health, allowing for more ambitious story arcs and production design.
A Global Partnership
The show's enhanced production value and global reach, bolstered by its partnership with Disney+, appears to be paying dividends. This international deal has seemingly contributed to the show's secured future, allowing for bigger budgets and a wider audience than ever before.
The next chapter for Doctor Who is firmly written, and the destination is more thrilling adventures through time and space.
