‘Doctor Who' to depart from streaming—Where will the much-loved doctor arrive next?
HBO Max has confirmed that all 13 seasons of the modern-era reboot (2005–2022) will be removed from the platform on July 31, with its spinoff Torchwood departing earlier, on July 26.
This move affects episodes spanning the Ninth to Thirteenth Doctors, including performances from Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, Matt Smith, Peter Capaldi, and Jodie Whittaker. As of now, there has been no official announcement regarding where these episodes will be available for streaming next.
While fans of the classic series (1963–1989) can still find earlier episodes on platforms such as Tubi and BritBox, the fate of the modern series' streaming rights remains unclear. Currently, seasons 1 through 13 are available on HBO Max, while the latest entries—seasons 14 and 15, starring Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor—are streaming exclusively on Disney+ (JioHotstar) under a separate deal.
In addition to the main series, new content from the 'Doctor Who' universe is in development. A BBC spin-off miniseries titled 'The War Between the Land and the Sea' is expected to premiere in 2026. An animated spin-off for 'CBeebies', the BBC's children's channel, is also underway, although it remains uncertain whether The Doctor will feature as a central character.
As for the flagship show's future, there are currently no new episodes officially commissioned. In the June issue of 'Doctor Who' Magazine, showrunner Russell T Davies acknowledged the uncertain state of the franchise, writing: 'We don't know what's happening yet, and while everyone works that out, I'll take a pause on this page. Hopefully, we'll have news soon.'
For the time being, digital purchases and physical box sets remain the most dependable options for fans wishing to access the full breadth of 'Doctor Who' content—until a new streaming home is announced.

‘Wednesday' star Jenna Ortega shares her perspective on the digital age: 'Young people are struggling…'
'Wednesday' actress Jenna Ortega recently opened up about her thoughts on the ongoing digital age. She called it "isolating" and even mentioned how times used to be better. Jenna Ortega talks about the 'isolating' digital age and more According to her BBC interview, the 22-year-old actress believes that the current age of digital and online advancements has made it much harder for people 'to find a sense of self. In her words, rather than reaching out to the people around them, individuals are 'interacting and finding their community online, which can be very isolating.' While detailing this matter, she also mentioned how this exposes people to a lot more opinions and voices than any one person would normally be exposed to. 'So I think it's harder to find a sense of self. Young people are struggling to find: 'What makes my voice stand out? What is it about me in this world and this society today that gives me a sense of purpose or control or authority?' she added along. What message does 'Wednesday' have for the people of this generation? Ortega also went forth and shared that her spin-off show shows a space where people are allowed to be who they are and 'place priority where it matters, and that's your family, that's who's in front of you, your special interests, that's your strength and your courage and your confidence in your voice.' She added that this is the kind of idea that people need to observe now, 'now more than ever,' while also saying that sheep mentality has also managed to become extremely common in today's day and age. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Simple Morning Habit for a Flatter Belly After 50!

‘Nothing against Meghan Markle': Prince Harry hits back at claims of physical fight with Prince Andrew that left him with a bloody nose
Prince Harry's reps are shutting down claims that he ever got into a physical fight with his uncle, Prince Andrew. A new royal book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, alleges that the Duke of Sussex and Andrew once got into a 'heated argument' that turned violent. Years later, Andrew even made insulting remarks about Meghan Markle. The excerpt from Andrew Lownie's book, a joint biography on Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson that paints the disgraced royal in a not-so-flattering light, also claims, via the Daily Mail, that tensions between Andrew, 65, and both his nephews, including Prince William, have been brewing for years. Speaking to People magazine, Harry's spokesperson said: 'I can confirm neither of those things are true. Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight, nor did Prince Andrew ever make those comments about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry.' According to the book, the alleged incident went down in 2013 at a family gathering, pre-Meghan, when Harry and Andrew reportedly clashed over 'something Andrew said behind Harry's back.' No clear details were given, but the author claims it got so heated that 'punches were thrown' and the uncle ended up with a bloody nose. Years later, Andrew allegedly called Meghan an 'opportunist' and said the marriage wouldn't last. Also read: 'Dark cloud of Meghan Markle': Ex-BFF Jessica Mulroney regrets royal wedding role that 'blew up' her life The book also drags Prince William into the mess, claiming he's been trying to push Andrew out of Royal Lodge, the Windsor estate where Andrew still lives. To do that, the next-in-line hasn't exactly held back on how he feels about his uncle and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson. Neither Kensington Palace nor Buckingham Palace has reacted to any of this. The book paints Andrew as a controversial royal figure, shoved to the sidelines, with repeated mentions of his ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. As a result, Andrew had to step down from royal duties and to this day lives far from the spotlight. This book is just one of many recent ones digging into royal drama ever since Harry and Meghan packed up and left London for California. The estranged royals are currently settled in Montecito with their two kids, Archie and Lilibet.

But he admitted that his father refuses to speak to him because of the ongoing legal battle over the couple's security protection in the UK. 'I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point in continuing to fight anymore,' Harry said. 'I don't know how much time my father has. He won't speak to me because of this security stuff, but it would be nice to reconcile.'
