What Happened
AMC+ has acquired the exclusive U.S. streaming rights to the 13-season run of the BBC's revived 'Doctor Who' television series. Starting June 11, AMC+ will host 13 seasons and 176 episodes, including specials, covering the modern series that aired in the U.K. from 2005 to 2022. This follows a year without a U.S. streaming home for this era of the show after a rights deal with HBO Max expired. The deal does not include the 26 seasons of the original series (1963-1989), the 60th anniversary specials, or the newer Disney+ revival seasons featuring Ncuti Gatwa as The Doctor.
Why this Matters to You
If you are a fan of the modern 'Doctor Who' series, you will soon have a single, dedicated place to stream the adventures of the Ninth through Thirteenth Doctors. This could simplify your viewing and potentially reduce the need to manage multiple streaming subscriptions for different eras of the show. The availability of the entire 2005-2022 run in one location may make it easier to revisit favorite episodes or catch up on the series.
What's Next
The 176 episodes from the modern series are scheduled to become available on AMC+ on June 11. The newer seasons of 'Doctor Who' featuring Ncuti Gatwa will remain exclusive to Disney+, which may mean fans will need to maintain subscriptions to both services to access the complete modern and current storylines. The classic series from 1963-1989 continues to lack a central streaming home under this new deal.
