The upcoming finale of Doctor Who‘s latest season airs this weekend, marking what seems like the end of an epoch. There’s been chatter that this could be the final season American viewers will watch through their Disney+ subscriptions, due to potential changes in Disney’s partnership with The BBC. Fans are also concerned about the series’ future beyond this season, and whether star Ncuti Gatwa might be departing as well.
In the unraveling of the Rani’s scheme to resurrect Omega, one of the earliest Time Lords, fans of “Doctor Who” are expressing concern about The Doctor and Belinda in the upcoming season finale. Here’s a glimpse into their apprehensions before this climactic episode, and why they speculate that Gatwa might be departing from the role of The Doctor.
Doctor Who Fans Are Concerned The Season Finale Will Be Ncuti Gatwa’s Last As The Doctor
As “The Reality War” approaches, many dedicated “Doctor Who” enthusiasts are worried that this conflict could necessitate a significant sacrifice from The Doctor. He might need to regenerate and channel the immense energy released during regeneration to save the day and restore order to the distorted universe once more. While they comprehend this possibility, it doesn’t lessen their desire for it not to occur, as numerous posts on X demonstrate.

- no matter what happens tomorrow it’s been an absolute honour to have ncuti gatwa as the fifteenth doctor. he’ll have a place in my heart forever 💙 – @raggedydocs
- “today is the last full day of ncuti gatwa as the doctor” “today is the last day of fifteen’s era” what if today is the last day of YOUR era. have u considered that – @BadWolfArchives
- Probably feeling the most terrified I’ve felt about an upcoming Doctor Who episode of this week. I really hope a regeneration doesn’t happen, Ncuti’s Doctor deserves to have their storylines with Susan and Rogue completed and get to face icons like the Daleks and Cybermen. – @StormingZee
Despite whispers suggesting Billie Piper might take on the role of The Doctor again, fans find it hard to get enthused about Ncuti Gatwa potentially leaving the series. It’s understandable given his popular portrayal of the character, but what has fans worried about this potential change?
Why Doctor Who Fans Are Concerned Ncuti Gatwa Is Leaving The Show
As a movie enthusiast, I’ve been buzzing with whispers about Ncuti Gatwa potentially departing from ‘Doctor Who’ since the series resumed filming at the beginning of 2025, following the conclusion of production for the season. The absence of a holiday special this year has fueled speculation, leading many to ponder if perhaps the show is taking a break or if Gatwa is hanging up his Doctor’s scarf. Fans are abuzz with anticipation over the possible reasons behind these developments.

The BBC denied speculations that the series will be discontinued, however, they chose not to comment on whether the main actor is planning to exit. This isn’t necessarily odd because the BBC prefers to keep secret the fact that their leading figure might be departing before the real season conclusion.
As the news broke that Gatwa would be performing in a play mid-August this year, people grew increasingly restless. Moreover, since The BBC has made clear that updates on Doctor Who renewal won’t surface until after the season concludes, it was highly likely that production wouldn’t resume before the end of 2025 regardless.
It seems to me that Ncuti Gatwa being appointed as an ambassador for Eurovision, especially during a season when the series paid tribute to international shows, might indicate a possibility of his return. However, given my experience with multiple seasons of Doctor Who, I’m aware that false rumors often circulate about the series. With no clear indication yet of Gatwa’s regeneration, it’s possible that fans are getting excited only to be disappointed and have him return for another season at some point in the future.
It’s likely we’ll find out if Ncuti Gatwa continues or leaves the role in Doctor Who when the latest season finale premieres on Disney+ this Saturday. I really hope he sticks around for another season, but if not, I wish him all the best as he embarks on his next venture.
