Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies explains how the Disney+ deal is necessary for the show's continuity given BBC's uncertain future. The long-running British sci-fi series became the subject of an agreement between the studio and the UK broadcaster, as the latter will contribute to the production and handle international distribution. The new era of Doctor Who under the BBC and Disney's agreement will continue to be seen in season 14, led by Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor and Millie Gibson's Ruby Sunday.
