Doctor Who From Big Finish Guaranteed until The End of 2035

Doctor Who audio dramas from Big Finish guaranteed until the end of 2035

EMBARGOED UNTIL 19:00 (UK TIME) SATURDAY 07 FEBRUARY 2026

Big Finish Productions is delighted to confirm that its licence to produce Doctor Who audio dramas has been renewed – securing brand-new adventures for listeners until the end of 2035.

Since launching its first Doctor Who release in 1999, Big Finish has produced thousands of hours of full-cast audio drama, bringing back Doctors, companions and aliens from across the Whoniverse, while also introducing new characters, worlds and series that have become part of the wider Doctor Who storytelling tapestry.

The renewed agreement means Big Finish can continue creating new stories featuring the Doctor and friends, alongside the wide range of Doctor Who ranges already available as digital download to own and various collector’s edition formats.

Jan Paterson, Director of Books and Audio at BBC Studios, said: “Big Finish has played a pivotal role in expanding the Doctor Who universe for more than 25 years, consistently delivering stories that honour the legacy of Doctor Who and bringing fans new adventures that are imaginative, bold and full of heart. This renewal reflects not only our confidence in Big Finish’s creativity and ambition, but also the strength of collaboration across our licensee community. We’re incredibly proud to continue this journey together and look forward to seeing and hearing where their creativity takes the Doctor next.”

Jason Haigh-Ellery, chairman of Big Finish Productions, said: “This is wonderful news for everyone who’s made Big Finish part of their Doctor Who journey. Being licensed until the end of 2035 lets us plan further ahead than ever. And that means bigger stories, more ambitious series, and plenty of surprises… We can’t wait to share what’s coming.”

Nicholas Briggs, executive producer and creative director at Big Finish, added: “We’ve been telling Doctor Who stories for over a quarter of a century now, and the joy is that it still feels like we’re only just getting started. One of my favourite aspects of Doctor Who is that it never runs out of space and time to explore. Eternity and the universe create a limitless canvas to work on!”
