But almost completely absent from the upfront festivities was Doctor Who, the iconic British sci-fi series that Disney+ now co-produces with the BBC following what was undoubtedly one of the biggest global TV show deals of the past decade. Doctor Who was handed a minor bit of real estate at the North Javits, but its lack of front-and-center placement may spin a yarn about the seriesâ position in the Disney priority log nearly three years on from the deal being struck.
Noises that it may not last beyond its initial two seasons are already reverberating around international TV circles, and one source close to the production tells us that they feel its future hangs in the balance already. Disney, the BBC, and co-producers BBC Studios and Bad Wolf all declined Deadlineâs interview requests for this article.
âI thought it was a mixed bag,â says Tony Jordan, Society Co-ordinator of the 30,000-strong Doctor Who Appreciation Society, who says this feeling broadly reflects that of the mega fans he speaks with regularly. âWhen Russellâs return was announced I thought, âThatâs fantasticâ but maybe I remembered the good stuff and chose to forget the not so good stuff. His track record of ending seasons with two parters has been widely varying in success, for example.â
When consolidated seven-day viewing figures were taken into account, the entire series averaged an audience down almost 1.5 million per episode compared to Whittakerâs last in 2021, according to Barb data supplied by overnights.tv, while it failed to light up Barbâs daily seven-day streaming rankings, which were at the time dominated by the likes of Baby Reindeer and Clarksonâs Farm, and evergreens such as EastEnders.
One of our sources close to the production believes Disney will âneed to make a decisionâ on its future relationship with the show soon after The War Between the Land and the Sea wraps, and this could have a bearing on how long the in-demand Gatwa ... this source predicts the final episode has been left open-ended, with the possibility remaining that Gatwa could regenerate into his successor if he chooses to exit. Gatwaâs agents hadnât responded to Deadlineâs request for comment by press time.
take it with a grain of salt but not only is gatwa not sure if he wants to stay in the show, not only the ratings keep dropping down (i hate talking about them but maybe disney isn't), not only is disney now in doubt but the whole "lets bring back old showrunner old actors old writers etc etc and make a deal with a big mouse" is not a... good idea???
wow who (me) could've thought.
#forever grateful this show didn't end with chibnall so noone can blame him when it ends in 2 seasons#(or everyone still will but whatever)#it's not like disney bought the rights AFTER chibnall's seasons and considers dropping it after rtd#or wait it is#the budget is wrong tho i think it's less than 10m$#but still#anti rtd#mutuals you'll love this#doctor who

Everyone is so weird about people who cry easily. Fellas, is it evil and manipulative to *checks notes* have an involuntary stress response?
#yeah you can critique people who eg post crying apology videos#because they could have waited until they'd calmed down#but if someone is in a stressful situation and they cry about it#all that tells you is that they cry in stressful situations#a fact which is completely morally neutral

I'm very tired of this "queer college students should stop supporting Palestine, they'd kill you there!" I watched a hijabi ask a trans man, "but what name do you want to go by?" A butch giving a woman their hoodie so that she could keep her hair covered after the cops took her scarf. Muslim girls making sure the lesbian couple got through the system together. Religious men making sure purple haired protestors got out safe. I don't want to hear it. Solidarity forever, free Palestine.
#i got arrested at an encampment if that's not clear#sorry to the annons still waiting in my ask box ive had a crazy weekend#christians for a free palestine#free palestine#save Gaza

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"
#like im not gonna name names but i can think of at least 3 channels#where they stopped posting short form content and went#wait the patreon is paying my rent im no longer a slave to the algorithm gods#HELL YEAH TIME TO SPEND 5+ MONTHS PUTTING TOGETHER A 3+ HOUR VIDEO#and i eat that shit up every time

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.
#who cares if its platonic love who fucking CARES if its because they wanna kiss like the devotion and the tenderness is there no matter what#mainly brought to you by: jack and anne from black sails but also probably sydcarmy and msr#sydcarmy#msr#rackhanne#the bear#black sails#txf#the x files#mulder x scully#sydney x carmy#jack rackham x anne bonny#oh wait perhaps also theonsa if you squint#maybe not

Me watching the Olympics, not knowing the name of most disciplines, let alone the rules, because overall I'm just very invested in watching people try hard and cheering for them if they seem nice or smth
