AMC+ has launched the exclusive U.S. streaming rights for the revived Doctor Who series starting June 11, 2026 [1].

The move provides American audiences with a legal streaming home for the series after it had been unavailable to stream in the country for some time [3]. This acquisition allows AMC+ to expand its genre-focused catalog by adding one of the most recognized science-fiction franchises in history [1].

The catalog includes 13 seasons [1] and a total of 176 episodes [2]. These episodes encompass the revival of the BBC series that originally ran from 2005 to 2022 [3].

"AMC+ has landed the exclusive U.S. streaming rights to the 13‑season run of BBC’s revived ‘Doctor Who’ TV series," Variety staff said [1]. The addition represents a significant volume of content for the platform, as the series spans nearly two decades of storytelling.

Industry observers note that the series had a gap in U.S. availability before this deal. An AV Club writer said, "That's 13 seasons and 176 episodes, now home to AMC+." [2]

The series follows the adventures of a Time Lord who travels through time and space in a TARDIS. By securing these rights, AMC+ positions itself as the primary destination for fans looking to catch up on the modern era of the show before new installments arrive.

The acquisition of Doctor Who signals AMC+'s strategy to compete with larger streaming giants by securing high-value, niche genre content. By filling a long-standing gap in U.S. streaming availability for the 2005-2022 era, the platform is likely targeting a dedicated fanbase to drive subscription growth in the American market.
