Doctor Who is back – well, almost. The iconic British sci-fi show returns to our screens this weekend (April 12-13), so you’ll want to know when and where you can watch it.
Below, I’ve outlined when you can catch episode 1, titled ‘The Robot Revolution’, of Doctor Who season 2 in the US, UK, and Australia. I’ll also tell you where you can watch it in these nations and run you through a full release schedule for the Ncuti Gatwa-starring TV show.
Before you dive in, be sure to read my Doctor Who season 2 premiere review to see what I thought of it. Ready to travel through all of time and space? Grand, let’s begin.
When can I watch Doctor Who season 2 episode 1 in the US?
Doctor Who‘s second season will make its Disney+ debut on Saturday, April 12 at 12AM PT / 3AM ET. That’s the same time that the first season of Gatwa’s 15th Doctor premiered on one of the world’s best streaming services, so it makes sense that this season’s first chapter would air then, too.
What is the release date and time for Doctor Who season 15 episode 1 in the UK?
Doctor Who season 15 will premiere on BBC iPlayer in the UK on Saturday, April 12 at 8AM BST. If you can’t watch the series’ next entry until that evening, you’ll be able to catch it on BBC One at 6:50PM.
With Doctor Who being rebooted in the UK back in 2005, it has a different seasonal moniker to other territories. Indeed, the forthcoming installment is known as Doctor Who season 2 internationally due to the deal made between the BBC and Disney to bring the legendary show to Disney+ last year.
However, because Doctor Who has aired on the BBC’s flagship terrestrial channel since its inception, the Gatwa era is viewed as a direct continuation of the TV show’s 21st century reboot. As such, this installment is known as season 15 on British shores.
What is the launch date and time for the Doctor Who season 2 premiere in Australia?
‘The Robot Revolution’ will air in Australia on Saturday, April 12 at 5pm AEST. Just as it does in the US – and every nation outside of the UK – one of the best Disney+ shows will, well, be available to watch on that streaming platform Down Under.
