Ncuti Gatwa appeared to indicate a third season

It is all going well,” Gatwa revealed. “We did the second series this year, the Christmas special is coming up, and we are filming a third series next year.”


However, there seems to be some further analysis needed.

Neither Disney nor the BBC have made an announcement to confirm a third season
It is possible that work is being planned, but that is not the same as a verification
It is possible that Disney may not commit to a third season, and the BBC will make a decision on whether there is one

It is difficult to measure the effectiveness of the show's performance, given the change to Disney's platforms
Disney seems quiet about whether they are content with the ratings, let alone happy.

From what I have noticed about content, the show has strayed too far
into science fantasy, as opposed to science fiction
The final episode - Sutek, one of the most all-powerful adversaries (if not the most) defeated by a dog collar?
The mystery of Ruby's parentage - just ordinary, why would Sutek care?
Not the most inspired writing, to say the least

I was hoping that Archie Punjabi would be portraying the Rani.
Unfortunately, there may be issues in securing permission from the estates of the writers, who are
the current owner's of the rights to the character.

Doctor Who is best when it explores a balance of Science fiction, action adventure, mystery, and horror.
Bigger budgets for effects are nice, but nothing can replace good scripts.
