All 13 Seasons of BBC’s ‘Doctor Who’ Revival to Stream Exclusively on AMC+ in U.S.

AMC+ has landed the exclusive U.S. streaming rights to the 13-season run of BBC’s revived “Doctor Who” TV series.

Beginning June 11, the platform will now be home to 13 seasons and 176 episodes (including specials) of the award-winning series “Doctor Who.”

Airing in the U.K. from 2005 – 2022, the BBC’s modern-day “Doctor Who” is the longest-running British science fiction television series. The show, which premiered 20 years ago in the U.S., follows the stories of a regenerating Time Lord (a.k.a. The Doctor) who travels on adventures through all of time and space. Throughout the years, The Doctor has been played by Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi and Jodie Whittaker.

“Doctor Who” aired on the AMC Global Media-owned BBC America in the U.S. during its run.

Not included in the AMC+ streaming deal are the 26 seasons of the original “Doctor Who” TV series, which aired from 1963 to 1989, the trilogy of 60th anniversary specials, or the two seasons of Disney+’s “Doctor Who” revival, which feature Ncuti Gatwa in the leading role as the Doctor and are still only streaming on Disney+.

The modern-day “Doctor Who” has been without a streaming home in the U.S. for the past year, following a rights deal expiring with HBO Max. Now on AMC+, it will join a catalogue that includes “The Walking Dead” universe, “Mayfair Witches,” “Interview with the Vampire,” and “The Vampire Lestat,” among other AMC and library titles.

“’Doctor Who’ strengthens AMC+’s position as a destination for premium genre storytelling – curated franchises defined by iconic worlds, passionate fan bases and enduring cultural impact,” said Courtney Thomasma, Executive Vice President of AMC Global Media’s linear and streaming products. “We’re thrilled to welcome the Whoniverse into our home of fandoms, giving longtime fans a reason to return while inviting new audiences to discover one of television’s most beloved franchises.”

“’Doctor Who’ is one of the most beloved franchises in television, with a fanbase that spans generations,” said Lawrence Szabo, EVP of Content Sales, North America & LatAm, BBC Studios. “AMC+ has built a differentiated home for premium genre franchises and deeply engaged fandoms, making it the ideal exclusive U.S. streaming partner for these 13 seasons of Doctor Who. We’re excited to bring these adventures back to longtime U.S. fans and welcome new audiences into the Whoniverse. Allons-y!”

The “Doctor Who” revival was produced by BBC Studios for BBC iPlayer and BBC One with BBC America as co-producer. BBC Studios is the international distributor.
