Doctor Who streaming on Amazon Prime in US after moving from Netflix
No word on where Doctor Who will end up in the UK just yet
Earlier this year, Doctor Who fans in the US were caught off-guard; the series was suddenly taken off Netflix, leaving anyone not caught up unable to watch the series anymore.
Luckily, the BBC sci-fi programme will be back in March, just not on the same streaming service.
Instead, Amazon Prime has picked up the show, with episodes being made available to stream in the US through Prime video.
Meanwhile, across the pond in the UK, Doctor Who is set to leave Netflix in May, with there reportedly only being ‘a chance’ it may stay on the service.

Show all 13Neither Netflix nor Amazon has commented on whether Doctor Who will be moving over to Prime in the UK.
When the programme initially left the streaming service in February, many speculated it may have been because the BBC could be planning its own subscription service in the US.
Unfortunately, for now, US fans wanting to stream Doctor Who is going to have to subscribe to the $99 yearly service that is Amazon Prime.
With no more episodes coming until 2017, it may be the only way to get a Doctor Who fix this year.
