Doctor Who earned its first Emmy nomination in 2025 after 62 years, specifically for Outstanding Choreography for the routine 'There's Always A Twist' in the episode 'The Devil's Chord.' The episode featured The Doctor, played by Ncuti Gatwa, and Ruby Sunday, portrayed by Millie Gibson, defeating Maestro, portrayed by Jinkx Monsoon, through dance. Previously, Doctor Who received only one Emmy nomination related to virtual reality in 2020. Ncuti Gatwa's departure from the role was due to the strenuous nature of the character. BBC Studios remains committed to the future of the show.
The long-running BBC sci-fi series, which first ran from 1963 to 1989 and then from 2005 onwards, has never been nominated for a Primetime Emmy award, which is shocking given the calibre of performances over the years.
On Tuesday (15 July, it was announced that the series received one nomination in the 2025 class for Outstanding Choreography For Scripted Programming. This was for the routine 'There's Always A Twist' which came in the episode 'The Devil's Chord.'
Gatwa's time as the Time Lord recently came to a premature end with the actor saying over the weekend he left because he found the role 'strenuous.' He added, 'It takes a lot out of you, physically, emotionally, mentally, and so it was time.'
Tom Fussel, the CEO of BBC Studios recently said that the company is 'really committed to Doctor Who and is continuing to look at ways in which we can bring the show to fans' as reported by Deadline.
