'Doctor Who' is famed for having powers of regeneration, but the Time Lord's next transformation for the BBC could well be the most challeng
Industry insiders think the show won’t return until 2028 at the very earliest, but even then, this is considered an outside bet. One producer predicted that Doctor Who could be rested for up to five years, and that the break would be good for the series. A person close to Doctor Who in recent years said the show will survive: “If you look at the longevity of Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek, these are valuable commodities over generations. The BBC is lucky to have one of these, and this should be no more than a bump in the road if they approach it properly.” The Doctor may be dead for now, but the BBC will be hoping it is long live Doctor Who.
