Disney Ends Doctor Who Partnership
Disney has terminated its partnership with Doctor Who, citing three key reasons.
Reasons for the Breakup
- Ratings: The two Doctor Who seasons on Disney+ failed to generate expected ratings.
- Budget: The cost of producing the show was a factor in the decision.
- MAGA politics: The show's politics played a role in the breakup.
There is more to that role than performing
The past season, which started in April 2025, did not register on Nielsen and Luminate's streaming charts. Ncuti Gatwa, who played the Doctor, never "fully embraced" the role, according to a source.
Author's summary: Disney ends Doctor Who partnership due to low ratings and other factors.
