Doctor Who's Upcoming Season Is Looking Positive
It Has A 100% Rating
People within the media industry have seen the newest season for review purposes, and while their scores don't guarantee the show will be to everyone's taste, they certainly provide a clear indication of what's to come. After eight reviews, the new season of Doctor Who has a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating, which is a perfect score and will give a lot of fans hope that this season is going to be of the highest quality. It has been claimed that the show is a "fun, fast-paced hour of TV," and that is exactly what people want from Doctor Who.

It appears that is what people can expect from the upcoming series of Doctor Who, and the fact that the series has a perfect rating proves that the work done for this season will be enough to keep people excited. Expectations are always high for a show as popular as this, but the early signs are certainly positive and prove that Disney and the BBC are capable of getting together to create a thrilling series that fans will be entertained by.
Ncuti Gatwa Is Now Established, Which Opens Up More Potential
There Won't Be A Need For As Much Background Detail
One of the reasons the second season should have a faster pace is that the majority of the key characters are already established. The backstory and relationships between them have been built up, and that means that the new season of Doctor Who can simply focus on the story and the overall plot. It will build up the excitement as the show can bring together plenty of thrilling moments, whether that's tension in a mysterious villain or some humor between the Doctor and his new companion or Ruby Sunday. There should be a focus on telling great stories in this season without having to introduce the new version of the Timelord. Fans know what to expect from Gatwa's character, and now people can just focus on that rather than slowly building up the storyline over time, which is what happened in the first season.
Doctor Who Might Have A Future After All
There Has Been A Lot Of Debate About This
One of the big worries that people have had about the upcoming season of Doctor Who is the rumor that there won't be another season afterward. There is a lot of speculation that the show is set to be axed despite the previous season drawing positive viewing figures. There have been claims that Gatwa is set to step down from the lead role, while others have stated the show will be put on ice for a few years due to the storylines focusing on trending and political issues. It's a decision that would leave a lot of Doctor Who fans disappointed and upset, considering how beloved the series is around the world. It's one of the greatest science fiction shows of all time, and the possibility of it being axed won't sit well with many. However, if the new season ends up performing well from both a critical and commercial perspective, then the series will likely be extended.
BBC and Disney will find it hard to cancel the show if it ends up performing well, as people will be desperate for more content moving forward. The fact that the early reviews are so positive is a good sign, considering they're coming from critics, who often have the harshest opinions due to their keen eye for detail across all aspects of the show. It has been claimed that decisions regarding a third season won't be made until the second has dropped, and if it ends up being as strong and entertaining as it appears to be, then Doctor Who could end up being safe after all.
