Reply to comment by Frank3634 in Wasn't Series 14 of Doctor Who scheduled to be on HBO MAX? by Frank3634

No they don't the Disney+ deal specifically states that the 60th anniversary and beyond will air on D+, HBO max only has access to past seasons until their licence expires.

By past you mean S13 and the 3 specials, right?

As I said elsewhere, plans changed due to COVID. I suggest you read these:

Between the pandemic delays, and the decision by Chibnall and Whittaker to make a pact that both would leave after S13 (necessitating a pause in production while the BBC searched for a new showrunner and new cast), the clock ran out on the HBO Max license.

Those licenses are based on a calendar deadline. They PRESUME a certain number of seasons will get made before that deadline. But the license (and the contract which forms it) isn't about the number of seasons, or number of episodes. It's about the calendar date on which it expires. It expired, and that's that.

You're clearly only upset about this because you have an HBO Max subscription, and not one for Disney+ (and don't want to get one).

Complaining about the situation on Reddit won't change the situation. The next episodes will be on Disney+, not HBO Max. And that's that.

Still no bearing on where Series 14 ends up. You don't know about any (legit) clock running out.

I could care less about the subscription as I can get D+ or whatever I need to watch the episodes. So that is not a concern for me.

I showed you evidence that it was on MAX til series 14 and still can't see what is right in front of you.

Didn't answer the question as to what actually happened that caused it leaving MAX, all guesses and no facts.

The only one that is right is me, mate.
