Seasons 1-8 of the hit series Doctor Who are coming to Amazon Prime Video among the March arrivals

Doctor Who has been one of the most celebrated shows of the age of streaming television as the hit BBC science fiction series has become beloved by millions and millions of viewers in the United States. However, those fans were left in disarray recently when BBC pulled Doctor Who off of Netflix and Hulu. As it turns out, that’s because the series is among the upcoming additions to Amazon Prime Video.

On Monday, Amazon announced that Doctor Who Seasons 1-8 are a late addition to the shows and movies that will be offered to Prime members starting in March. Considering the fan-base that the show has built in the United States, this is a huge addition to Amazon’s catalog in regards to the subscribers it could bring and just in terms of having a fantastic TV show in their library as well.

Doctor Who chronicles the journeys of the Doctor, a Time Lord who travels to various events in history using his TARDIS time-traveling vehicle—usually with the help of an attractive female companion—to usually try and save the world from the devious plans of various alien races. Though it’s silly, the show is incredibly well done and the slew of actors to portray the Doctor has taken on a cult-like following of their own.

As stated, the first eight seasons will be coming to Amazon Prime Video in March, though no exact date is set just yet. Moreover, there’s no word on when Season 9 will be coming to Amazon.

Even with a few unknown aspects of this acquisition for Amazon Prime Video, Doctor Who is sure to join Amazon Adviser’s 50 Best TV Shows streaming on Amazon Prime Video for free, along with shows like Bosch, which will have it’s second season released in March alongside Doctor Who.
