More than 60 years after it first premiered, Doctor Who is back with even more new episodes (and a new face). We’ll show you everything you need to know about where to stream new Doctor Who episodes.
Ncuti Gatwa joins the beloved, long-running British series as the Fifteen Doctor. Gatwa was previously previewed in the 2023 Christmas special, alongside his companion Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), but the new episodes mark their first official season. The new season also serves as a rebranding of sorts for the franchise, as it’s both a new season and the latest iteration of the series (it’s being referred to as both season 1 and season 14). The changes are also reflected in the show’s streaming options since the newest episodes will air on Disney+ in most parts of the world.
We’ll break down all your watch options below so you can tune in accurately from anywhere in the world. Plus, we’ve included a trailer for the new season and information on exactly what time you can expect to see new episodes.
