Telly’s Take

Will BBC cancel or renew Doctor Who for season 13? The show continues to be very popular and, on BBC America, season 11 was up by more than 30% when compared to season 10’s ratings. I have no doubt it will be renewed. I’ll update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free alerts on Doctor Who cancellation or renewal news.
