How To Watch Doctor Who Season 14?
The most recommended method for watching season fourteen of Doctor Who is to subscribe to Disney+ monthly; this way, you can’t save any money and are not wasting it continually unless you cancel your subscription right when the show is over. Provided you don’t mind a few commercials, it’s only $7.99 per month or $13.99 per month for an ad-free option.
What To Expect From Doctor Who Season 14?
Like the previous seasons, the trailer for this one has outlined a journey that would take Ruby and The Doctor through “infinitely many adventures in time and space.” Some stills from the trailer hint at 1960s scenes while others have to do with England during the regency era, but the latest press release also indicates “war-torn futures” as well.
This season will introduce several exciting guest stars, including Jemma Redgrave, Yasmin Finney, Jonathan Groff, Bonnie Langford, and Jinkx Monsoon.
What Is The Reason Behind Doctor Who Season 14 Being Called Season 1?
As we all know, this is the first season to star Ncuti Gatwa as the fifteenth doctor—the title role he convinced his audience of in a Christmas special and dropped as a surprise performance within the last of the 60th-anniversary episodes. It’s also the first time Doctor Who is coming out on Disney+, along with Toy Story 5 and The Kardashians Season 5.
While technically it’s on paper Season 14, according to showrunner Russell T. Davies, rebranding it as Season 1 could attract new viewers and reboot the franchise. Besides, this season will go down in history for having Gatwa as the first-ever Black Doctor with more inclusive themes.
Recently, Russell T. Davies said in a Rolling Stone interview, “Who is interested in Season 67, or whatever it is? It genuinely starts again. The reason why it’s survived for all these years ibecauseDoctor Who stops, opens the door and refreshes itself, and gets a new audience in. every so often.”
