The old new doctor who from 2005, important distinction because there's a new doctor who series starting in 2024
Only regarding the episode indexing, not a new show in the same sense as Classic Who compared to nuWho. That was a full-on reboot of the series. This… represents a shift between platforms and the marketing efforts to appeal to new viewers unfamiliar with Doctor Who.
Apparently, Disney believed that starting at S14 would be off-putting to potential new viewers to the show (feeling that catching up would be too daunting), so they reset it to S01 for their streaming service.
Edit:
That is - according to both Disney, the BBC, and literally everyone else ever asked about this with any “official knowledge” - is the only reason for the season number reset. Just a marketing decision for putting the show on D+ as a fresh, new series for the majority of D+ subscribers.
Fuck Disney. They're gearing to buy the show when the Tories axe the BBC even more.
Yep, but even my softwarre separates it as a different series. I understand all of that, but it is still, for all intents and purposes, a new Doctor Who series.
