The BBC aims to engage younger audiences with this beloved franchise while continuing its investment in UK's animation industry.

While it has been suggested that the Doctor may appear in the new series, the BBC has not confirmed this. As it stands, details about the main character and storyline are still under wraps.

Doctor Who, a cornerstone of British science fiction, has enjoyed a rich history since its debut in 1963. The show explores the adventures of the Time Lord known as the Doctor, who travels through time and space in the TARDIS. This animated series aims to introduce the Doctor's universe to a younger audience, following previous spin-offs that have delved into different themes and demographics, enhancing the franchise's legacy.
