The BBC has assured Doctor Who fans that the sci-fi drama has not been cancelled, following an "incorrect" tabloid report.

The Sun stirred up concern that the long-running series was to go dormant again for between five and ten years, as it previously did after Sylvester McCoy's final season – and once again after Paul McGann's 1996 standalone film.

The speculation comes after perceived disappointment over Doctor Who season 14's viewing figures, although the BBC and showrunner Russell T Davies have previously drawn attention to the show's strong engagement from younger viewers.

The Sun's anonymous source claimed that star Ncuti Gatwa was eyeing a move to Los Angeles to pursue Hollywood work – and that he had filmed a regeneration sequence for the end of the current run.

However, a spokesperson for Doctor Who commented: "This story is incorrect, Doctor Who has not been shelved. As we have previously stated, the decision on season 3 will be made after season 2 airs.

"The deal with Disney Plus was for 26 episodes – and exactly half of those still have to transmit. And as for the rest, we never comment on the Doctor and future storylines."

No celebrity death has ever come close to hitting me as hard as hers. Almost 14 years later and I still tear up.

Tickets for the highly anticipated U.S. premiere of the Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder: Where Science Meets Fiction exhibit are on sale now, which will take up residence in San Diego’s Comic-Con Museum from March 15, 2025.

Returning to the show is Pete McTighe, who previously wrote the episodes Kerblam and Praxeus during Chris Chibnall's era as showrunner and is also a co-writer and producer for upcoming spin-off The War Between the Land and the Sea.

Meanwhile, Juno Dawson – who created the first official Doctor Who scripted podcast, Doctor Who: Redacted – will make her debut writing for the television show, which she described as a "dream come true".

Also making their Doctor Who scriptwriting debut is poet and playwright Inua Ellams, who said he had been a fan of the series "for as long as I can remember television".

Finally, Sharma Angel-Walfall – who has been involved in writers' rooms for several major shows including Supacell, Renegade Nell, and Noughts & Crosses – will also be writing an episode, and said she was "buzzing" to be involved with "such an iconic show".

If you start the third episode of "Nightmare in Eden" at 23 minutes to midnight on New Year's Eve, the clock on the screen changes from 20:24 to 20:25, and Romana presses a button on the spaceship's dashboard to set the midnight bells tolling.
