Disney+ surpasse Netflix et tous les autres streamers, révèle le showrunner.

Doctor Who, one of the world’s longest-running and most beloved television series, has found its new streaming home on Disney+. In a highly competitive battle among streaming platforms, Disney+ emerged victorious in securing the exclusive streaming rights for the iconic sci-fi show.

The Streaming Wars

The competition among streaming services, including Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and others, to become the leading platform has intensified. However, in recent months, many streaming platforms have experienced a decline in viewership and subscribers, while traditional broadcasting television has seen a surprising resurgence. Various factors, such as lackluster releases from major franchises, content removals for tax benefits, and frequent price hikes, have contributed to this decline.

Disney+ Comes Out on Top

Despite this challenging landscape, Disney+ has secured a major win by obtaining the streaming rights for Doctor Who. According to showrunner Russell T Davies, all major streaming platforms showed interest in acquiring the series, but only Disney+ was successful in making a deal. The series will join Disney+’s library on November 25, including three 60th-year anniversary specials and 39 seasons of episodes.

The Future of Doctor Who

Doctor Who, the longest-running and most successful science fiction franchise according to Guinness World Records, will now have a new home on Disney+. The show follows the adventures of “the Doctor,” an extraterrestrial being who regenerates into new actors. Jodie Whittaker recently portrayed the Fourteenth Doctor, while Ncuti Gatwa will take on the role next. Additionally, David Tennant, a fan-favorite actor, will return for at least one special, facing off against a new villain portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris.

Disney+ and its Content Catalog

The partnership between Disney+ and BBC Studios to stream Doctor Who comes at a crucial time for Disney. The company has been facing challenges, including diminishing box office returns and declining viewership for its streaming shows. Doctor Who’s loyal global fanbase makes it a valuable asset for any streaming platform, explaining the fierce competition among services. It appears that Disney’s strategy involves replacing its own branded content with the adventures of the Time Lord.
