Fans of the long-running sci-fi series may be waiting longer than expected for new content. A recent report suggests that the BBC is considering pushing the upcoming Doctor Who Christmas special to Easter 2027 due to an ongoing search for the next lead actor.
The show is currently in a state of flux following Ncuti Gatwa’s abrupt departure and the end of the partnership with Disney. With no lead currently cast and production yet to begin, the status of the holiday episode—intended to resolve a major cliffhanger—remains uncertain.
