With the BBC reportedly preparing to seek a new production partner for Doctor Who, and news that there will be no 2026 special, questions are being asked about the future of the iconic Time Lord. In the latest episode of SciFiPulse Now, Ian Cullen and Marx Pyle discuss the current state of the franchise, the legacy of Russell T Davies, the challenges facing modern Doctor Who, and where the series could go next. Will a creative reset help the show find a new audience, or is the TARDIS heading into uncertain territory?

Although I commented on the video on YouTube I’ll comment here too. I thought Marx made a really good point about how entire seasons dropping at once doesn’t give time for word of mouth about a show to spread.
Jodie Whittaker’s dyspraxic companion was named Ryan and he was played by Tosin Cole. The clone warriors are called Sontarans.
I thought Ian made an interesting point about the Doctor possibly regenerating into a non-human form. Maybe the Doctor could regenerate into a Weeping Angel?
I’d like to see Karen Gillan be the next Doctor Who showrunner personally. She clearly understands horror tropes from watching her short films and I think we could see some really dark and weird Doctor Who with Karen in charge.
Again, thanks a lot.
