Ncuti Gatwa Leaves Disney’s ‘Doctor Who’ After Two Seasons of Woke Plots and Tanking Ratings—
After two seasons of controversy over ultra woke storylines, actor Ncuti Gatwa has officially exited British sci fi staple Doctor Who, despite previous claims that he was not under pressure by network executives.
The most recently aired episode of the Disney-BBC series ends with Gatwa’s Doctor regenerating into a new character. Regeneration has long been established as the way one actor takes over for the previous in the 60-year-old series, and it usually involves the retiring actor engulfed in a field of brilliant energy from which the new actor emerges and is presented as the next phase of the Doctor’s life.
On Sunday, series 15 aired its eighth and final episode, Wish World, that ends with Gatwa’s regeneration, leaving his version of The Doctor ditched after only two very short seasons.
