HBO Max grabs exclusive streaming rights to Doctor Who starting next season.

In a world where the "Streaming Wars" are officially in full swing, the action has now gone into all of time and space. It has officially been announced that WarnerMedia has just signed a deal with BBC Studios to gain exclusive streaming rights to the hit sci-fi show, Doctor Who, for their upcoming streaming service HBO Max. As a part of the deal, when HBO Max launches in Spring of 2020 it will gain all 11 seasons of the show's modern era and will be home to the newest episodes after they air on the BBC and BBC America.

Speaking about the acquisition of the show, Kevin Reilly, the chief content officer at HBO Max and president of TNT, TBS, and truTV, stated,

"“‘Doctor Who’ is one of television’s all-time, most beloved series, on both sides of the pond, and we are happy to be the exclusive streaming stewards for this BBC gem. Another series to further define the high-quality content experience consumers can expect from HBO Max.”"

This is going to be a hard sell for a lot of fans who used Amazon Prime to stream the show. The streaming wars have fans shelling out a lot of many for the various services and now there is one more.
