Doctor Who season 2 release schedule: When is episode 8 on Disney Plus and the BBC?

Get ready to park for TARDIS for a while as Doctor Who season 2 is almost over. But, Ncuti Gatwa's wild and, may we say exceptionally stylish, second season is not going out with a bang as the finale is right around the corner. After last week's intense and reality-bending episode, which even had the Doctor confused, the whole Whoniverse is now waiting for Doctor Who season 2 episode 8, titled 'The Reality War'.

However, with each episode of season 2 so far being practically a story in itself, you may be wondering where abouts you have watched up to. Alternatively, you may be a new fan or just a little behind, wondering how you can stream Doctor Who season 2.

Don't worry, that's where we come in. To keep you in the loop on all things timey-wimey, we have the complete Doctor Who season 2 release schedule. This includes the time and dates for new episodes, how many there are, and where you can stream them, whether you are watching from the US or the UK.

Doctor Who season 2 episode 1 release date: What time is the new episode on BBC and Disney Plus?

The finale, Doctor Who season 2 episode 8, will land on May 31, 2025, at midnight PST / 3am EST. Viewers in the UK can find the same episode on BBC iPlayer at 8am GMT.

The TV broadcast on BBC One will follow on the same day, likely around 6:30pm GMT. This was the slot for episodes of Doctor Who last season, and we don’t expect there to be much change here.
