The tendering process means it is not canceled.

The show is in hiatus, as it has gone through before. It has been canceled before. Twice. It was canceled in 1989, and then the plans to move the 1996 revival to series were canceled after the TV movie failed. The idea of Doctor Who as some beacon of tv stability and success is a fiction. It has a long history of barely surviving and fighting budget cuts

They tried to go back to the well with RTD, and it didn't work to bring in new fans. Most importantly, they tried to bring in money with Disney without considering how disney would keep them on a restrictive leash without making the show any kind of marketing priority.

After a bad run and then a disappointing run, letting the show reset and shopping new creatives is probably the right idea.

carry that water, boy.

I stopped watching during Jodie Whitaker's run. And to be clear it had nothing to do with making the doctor a woman. They already proved with the master becoming missy that making the character female could work if the writing was good enough. I stopped watching because the writing was godawful. The timeless chld was one of the dumbest retcon's to the series history and I absolutely hated it.
