Doctor Who is a science fiction television series that follows the adventures of an extraterrestrial being known as Doctor Who. He is a Time Lord who can regenerate when about to die. Produced by BBC, the series is available to stream on BBC iPlayer, BritBox, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime.
Season 14 is scheduled to premiere on BBC in the UK and Disney + on May 11, 2024.
Various actors have portrayed the role of the Doctor throughout the 13 seasons. There have been 13 regular doctors so far. However, next season will have two different doctors aka two different Time Lords. While David Tennant will play the Fourteenth, Ncuti Gatwa will play the Fifteenth Doctor.
This deflection from the regeneration tradition has left viewers shocked and intrigued. With the coexistence of two Doctors, the storytelling is no longer limited to a linear progression of Doctors. Instead, there will be parallel narratives.
