According to RTD (Doctor Who Executive Producer) in the
latest DWM [#613] the "first order from Disney was for 26
episodes", which will be completed once the spin-off "The
War Between the Land and the Sea" has aired. So if Disney
are not happy with what they have been getting from their
partnership with the BBC then there won't be a second
order... the deal will have been completed and both Disney
and the BBC can move on. I assume it will be the ratings for
S2/S15 this spring that will be decisive, but if the
ratings/viewing figures are in the same ball-park as they
were for S1/S14 then I would expect Disney to move on...

Possibly.

But, maybe the BBC will go it alone with a reduced budget for
"Doctor Who" if Disney do not order any more episodes. There's
no guarantee that another streaming service would be be
interested in the show.

Or maybe the BBC will put "Doctor Who" on hold and give it a
break? It wouldn't be the first time...

 Let them look for a new dance partner and Keep Ncuti.
