I think the HBO Max live stream just let it slip that Doctor Who will be renewed for s13 and s14, they said 3 upcoming new seasons will be available on Max.
It was already known we would have at least that many seasons, BBC Worldwide and Shanghai Media Group signed a first look deal for seasons 11-15 back in 2017.
we get more animated eps of classic who then we get nuwho eps these days :/
It's been this way for as long as I can remember now. Seasons cut in half, multiple years between series. I mean Season 10 wasn't fantastic honestly, but I do miss Who having more prominence.
We can only hope.
But it's going to be a release date announcement. I wonder if they'll drop it really early. Maybe it will start on New Year's Day?
You pretty much got your wish with Series 11, where the Doctor felt like an after thought.
Is the circular thingy with Who in it new branding? Don't think I like it.
It always makes me think of Basketball on TNT for some reason lol
The new years special gave me hope, I'm up for giving the guy a second (and final) chance. We'll see I guess.
Given the imagery, I wonder if it's actually related to this:
I think, of all the Who tie-in books. I can be fairly confident...
that this one will be ace
seems an odd thing to make a big deal about. unless Sophie Aldred is playing Ace in an upcoming episode
Ha that would be quite a jump for Chibnall, from basically no references to past seasons to "Ace is back!"
Pretty sure it's a straight narrative; the blurb on the cover simply outlining a key dilemma in the story.
It's stuff like this that makes you realise that perhaps Chibnall's most egregious fault is not having a particularly interesting personality.
Like, both showrunners put out their fair share of crap but at the very least when RTD got out there and told you how amazing The End of Time was going to be, or Moffat professed In the Forest of the Night as his new favourite, they were always entertaining to listen to.
Part of the reason, for me at least, that S11 felt so flat was because there seemed to be no-one out there selling it. So it's great to see they're changing that approach, what with all the S12 promotion we're drowning in...
Aye, RTS, Moffat and Gatiss could put on an engaging, fun persona for interviews and bts stuff. While they certainly didn't get everything right in terms of writing, they could play the PR game well.
I want to be excited about S13, but little is presently countering the near-constant negativity I observe on YT recommendations etc.
While there's plenty of hyperbolic vitriol, it reminds me of the valid criticism I feel to be accurate.
As much as Moffat drove me up the goddamn wall sometimes at the very least it was always interesting to listen to him talk. Even if some of (okay, many of) his ideas were stupid, hearing how he got to them was at least kind of entertaining. I wasn't a regular watcher during the Davies era so I don't really remember him as a showrunner beyond having seen his episodes four times each, but man. What a different time it was.
Someday I'll watch the rest of season 11. Whenever they put it up for free on Prime Video, I guess. Eventually... :(
Not sure if it will ever go on Prime at this point. Might just be HBO Max.
One sad thing is that Davies' Sarah Jane Adventures master plan involved bringing Ace back next (after doing the Brig, Jo and Martha) but Liz Sladen's death and thus the end of the show meant it never happened. He'd even spoken to Aldred about it.
OP
OP
There has been a tease that there'll be Doctor Who stuff alongside Children in Need next week, so that might be what we're looking at.
yeah hopefully.
I am still watching the twitter feed like they told me to 😭
I'll probably just watch these episodes on the BBC America website the day after they air instead of buying a season pass. Unless Amazon has one on sale for an extremely low price again like last time.
