One of the longest-running sci-fi TV series Doctor Who is not available on Netflix anymore. Will the famous show return to the popular streaming platform?

Doctor Who is one of the oldest and the most popular British TV series of all time. The series focuses on a time lord who is called The Doctor and invites viewers on an amazing journey through time and space. It started airing back in 1963 and the leading cast of the show has changed on a regular basis as the series moved on. Back in the 2000s, it got a reboot and received critical acclaim over the recent years.

The show is definitely quite special for millions of fans around the world. It had a brilliant approach to the concept of time travel as well. Now with the new season on the way, fans are asking whether they are going to see Doctor Who on Netflix.

The modern version of the famous series has left Netflix UK a couple of months ago. The series was not available in other countries as well. The reason for the removal is related to distribution rights and licensing process. The iconic TV series can be watched on BBC One, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime Video though. You can also catch up with The Doctor on Britbox if you live in Australia. We recommend Crave for those who live in Canada as the service offers 12 seasons of the show.

With Jodie Whittaker on the wheel, the Doctor continues her journeys with her three companions.

As we mentioned earlier, Netflix subscribers will not be able to watch the new season of the beloved series on the service. We might get to watch The Doctor’s adventures on Netflix in the future, but it seems very unlikely as of 2021. Even though other streaming services stops offering the series on their library, Netflix might not acquire the rights of the show again. Yet again, we might also hear the sound of Tardis sometime in the future.

Jodie Whittaker will reprise her role as the first female Doctor. She received amazing reviews worldwide thanks to her brilliant portrayal of The Doctor. Although the cast decision received negative backlash from a certain part of the fanbase, Jodie Whittaker is now embraced as the legendary time lord.
