AMC Secures Exclusive US Rights to 176 Doctor Who Episodes

AMC has secured exclusive U.S. streaming rights to 176 episodes of the modern Doctor Who revival, spanning 13 seasons from 2005 to 2022, with the full collection becoming available on its platform starting June 11, 2026.

The deal covers all episodes and specials featuring five Doctors: Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth, David Tennant as the Tenth, Matt Smith as the Eleventh, Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth, and Jodie Whittaker as the Thirteenth. Produced by BBC Studios for BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with BBC America as co-producer, the series marks its 20th anniversary of U.S. premiere this year. AMC is promoting the launch with a limited-time offer of a one-year subscription for $29.99, available until May 25.

The acquisition fills a gap for American viewers, who lost access to these seasons on HBO Max last July after their removal from the service. Previously, BBC America broadcast the series in the U.S. from 2009 to 2022, following initial airings on the Sci-Fi Channel. Classic Doctor Who episodes from 1963 to 1989 remain on BritBox, while the 60th anniversary specials with Tennant and Catherine Tate, along with Ncuti Gatwa's episodes as the Fifteenth Doctor, stay on Disney+.
