Ncuti Gatwa explains why he left Doctor Who after two seasons, citing the toll of the role and teasing a possible return.

That said, one can imagine that Ncuti Gatwa's tenure as The Doctor will live on Disney+ for a while. Assuming that wherever the series lands next doesn't buy the rights to those episodes, it'll remain available for the time being alongside David Tennant and Catherine Tate's episodes they teamed up for in the 60th anniversary specials.

Ncuti Gatwa has spoken about his exit from Doctor Who. The Sex Education actor left the BBC science-fiction series after his second season in the finale episode 'The Reality War' in a surprising twist that saw Billie Piper taking his place.
