The 2026 Release Quirk
Hold the fez—this isn’t heading to North America until January 6, 2026. Why the wait?
Wikipedia
Possible reasons:
-
Classic approach: Staggered releases between Region B (UK) and Region A (US) are standard in physical media land. Tight filmmaker rights and distributor wheel-spinning may be at play here.
-
Distributor red tape: It's possible Warner (or BBC’s home video division) is taking its sweet time coordinating with Disney-era contracts.
-
Contractual dancing: The Disney streaming deal may not yet guarantee swift physical release rights. So, physical media fans are essentially stuck in TARDIS limbo.
Fan Reactions (Because of Course There Are Some)
Whovians everywhere had thoughts—not all polite.
“The Collection is still chugging along—just takes years to complete.”
“Will Disney-era stuff even get released? Region A, region B… it’s the wild west.”
Yes, physical media fans are very opinionated. But hey—that’s fandom fuel.
Final Take
Doctor Who: The Collection – Season 13 is coming, bless its soul—and it’s dripping with nostalgia and archival gold. But if you live in North America, prepare for a long wait until early 2026. Stay strong. Your pop-culture library will thank you later.
