BBC Doctor Who Shares Major Update Weeks After Ncuti Gatwa Exit
- The Doctor Who Season 15 finale aired on May 31, 2025, featuring Ncuti Gatwa's regeneration into Billie Piperβs character.
- This transformation followed Gatwaβs intended two-season tenure and involved reshoots that altered the original finale vision.
- Shortly after, the BBC announced a new pre-school animated Doctor Who spin-off debuting on CBeebies, aimed at younger audiences and separate from the main series.
- The spin-off series remains in early production with no confirmed release date, and the BBC seeks a passionate production company to develop it, while Disney is not involved.
- Meanwhile, the Whoniverse expands with a 2026 five-episode series, The War Between the Land and the Sea, focusing on UNIT defending Earth against reemerging Sea Devils without the Doctor.
