The new series of Doctor Who starring Ncuti Gatwa is to begin on May 11, the BBC has announced. A double bill of the long-running show will land on BBC iPlayer at midnight on Saturday May 11 before it airs on BBC One later in the day, ahead of the final of the Eurovision Song Contest, which will also air on the BBC.
A new episode will be available on BBC iPlayer at midnight on Saturdays before airing during a primetime slot on BBC One each week. Those outside of the UK will be able to stream the programme on Disney+ from May 10. The decision to release the show ahead of time to those outside the UK and to the option of watching the episode ahead of its usual primetime has left fans annoyed as they slammed it a 'genuinely terrible idea.'
The 15th Doctor, played by Sex Education star Gatwa, 31, and his companion Ruby Sunday, played by former Coronation Street actress Millie Gibson, first appeared on screen together during the Christmas Day special. Showrunner Russell T Davies said: “At last, it’s my great delight to unleash a whole new season of the Doctor and Ruby’s adventures together.

“Monsters! Chases! Villains! Mysteries! And a terrifying secret that’s been spanning time and space for decades. Don’t miss a second.”
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans were quick to complain about the new format. @thenickofit said: "Part of the fun of watching Doctor Who is that as many people as possible get to experience it at the same time, you’ve just taken that away", while @TheSindemon pondered: "Not sure how I feel about prioritising streaming like this... Doctor Who is a BBC show first and foremost... But we'll see how it goes".
