Blue Zoo Animation Studio has appointed Dominic Minns as creative director, with the Brighton Zoo alum set to serve as series director of the upcoming animated Doctor Who for CBeebies.

The BBC has shelved the Doctor Who Christmas special this year as Russell T Davies and Bad Wolf exit the show, with the long-running brand being put out to competitive tender.

AMC+ has scored the U.S. streaming rights to 13 seasons of Doctor Who—from 2005 to 2022—for a total of 176 episodes of the BBC Studios show.

Blue Zoo Animation Studio has landed the contract to make the first-ever animated series for Doctor Who.
