BBC Bosses Issue Statement on Future of Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor Who Amid Reports

Ncuti Gatwa, who has played the Doctor since 2023, is reportedly leaving the series as the second season ends later this month.
Reports suggest his departure followed rumors of a dispute with BBC bosses over Eurovision presenting duties, but the BBC denies these claims.
Showrunner Russell T. Davies dismissed the rumors of Ncuti being axed and said no secret meetings about this have taken place.
Davies expressed "absolute faith" that Doctor Who will continue despite Disney reconsidering its 26-episode co-production deal and possible funding withdrawal.
Doctor Who faces a likely hiatus until 2027, with the usual festive special canceled due to delays linked to production and funding decisions.
