"Months after filming wrapped, the cast and crew were back on set to film Gatwa's regeneration. The original ending to Season 2, which featured Carole Ann Ford returning as The Doctor's granddaughter and first companion Susan, remains unseen."
"The penultimate episode of Season 1 featured the introduction of Susan Triad (Susan Twist), whom the Doctor is convinced is actually his granddaughter, Susan Foreman. That doesn't turn out to be true, but the mystery of Susan remained."
Doctor Who entered a new era with Disney as a global partner, featuring a new showrunner and lead actor. However, after Season 2, Disney declined to renew the partnership, leaving the franchise in uncertainty. Pre-production on Season 3 had begun when the partnership ended, forcing actor Ncuti Gatwa to depart and requiring reshoots of the Season 2 ending to depict the Doctor's regeneration. The original ending reportedly featured Carole Ann Ford returning as Susan Foreman, the Doctor's granddaughter and first companion, resolving a mystery spanning over six decades. Susan's character departed the series in 1964, and her return would have provided long-awaited closure to her storyline.
