Animated “Doctor Who” Coming To CBeebies

The BBC’s has announced a new expansion of the “Doctor Who” franchise with a new kiddie animated series coming to their pre-school channel CBeebies.

The show will see the Doctor travelling through time and space for the pre-school audience, solving mysteries and problems alongside their companions and other friends.

The network is seeking a “passionate production company” to produce the series that is entirely independent from the main show. Disney will not be involved with the animation.

In a statement, The BBC’s Director of Children’s and Education Patricia Hidalgo says:

“Everyone is welcome at CBeebies, including the Doctor. This much-loved franchise entertains millions around the world, so it is only right that our younger audience get to experience the wonder and the magic of the Doctor in a brand new format. This is an extremely exciting opportunity, and we are looking forward to welcoming companies to pitch for this new project, as we continue our commitment and investment in the UK’s animation industry.”

The announcement comes as the next “Doctor Who” spin-off, “The War Between the Land and the Sea,” will air sometime next year on The BBC and the Disney+ service.
