Doctor who could be out of our screens for several years because the future of the show seems increasingly uncertain
Russell T Davies is resurrected Doctor Who In 2005, and after an extremely successful passage as a showrunner, he spent the reins at Steven Moffat. This turned out to be another victory for longtime science fiction property, while Chris Chiball’s race has led to a significant drop in interest.
Notes have dropped, and The BBC finally asked Davies to retreat to the Tardis for a new narrative era, starting with the specials of the 60th anniversary. Unfortunately, his ideas for the show turned out to be diviners, and the two seasons of Ncuti Gatwa was a disappointment.
Disney + should end its financing / streaming agreement with the British broadcaster after War between the land and the sea will be released later this year.
The final of season 15 / season 2 ended with the doctor of Gatwa regenerating in Billie Piper, a major cliffhanger who may not be resolved in a predictable future if this last update is something to go.
As we have pointed out for the first time on Sffgazette.com, old Doctor Who Magazine The editor -in -chief Tom Spilsbury shared his point of view on the state of the franchise (via R / Doctorhonews), and although his comments are largely speculative, he seems to have received information from those working in the series.
“I suppose – and it’s just a supposition – is that it will take five or six years before seeing something new,” He shared. “At that time, it will be the children of 2005 who will bring the show back, just as Russell predicted it. As always, time will say it.”
“I suspect that the show will indeed come back at one point, but at the moment, nothing is ordered and nothing is guaranteed” “ Spilsbury noted. “These are the facts. Time will tell us, of course, but I do not have the sense of much optimism for anything very soon of anyone you talked about.” Let’s see. “
Developing on this point, he said, “Everything evolves much more slowly on television at the moment. Assuming that Disney does not renew before the official expiration of its option, it will be the point where the BBC can start to do its shopping. And this process could take a lot of time – it may require more than one partner just to collect the necessary funds.”
“Potential partners who can have very specific requirements or stipulations. They may need to return to the people they have refused the last time. Yes, the BBC could opt for the ultra -capacity internal version of the show, but I really don’t think it is a option as viable as before – license costs simply did not maintain inflation in recent years.”
Spilsbury concluded, “I simply offer a perspective, based on my knowledge, and real conversations with people who really know one thing or two on television. See.”
The future does not seem particularly brilliant for the Time Lord, and it seems that we will wait at least a few years to see the series on television.
There have been chatter on a series of special specials or seasons to save money, but Netflix and HBO would also be negotiated with the BBC, giving Doctor Who His best chance to maintain his new feeling of a big budget. Anyway, the return of Davies seems doubtful.
We do not know when we will receive an official update on what is planned to Doctor WhoBut we will keep you posted as we learn more.
