Season 15 of Doctor Who is already speeding toward the finish line, and audiences now have their sights on Episode 7. Entitled 'Wish World,' the episode is the second-to-last of the ongoing season. Official timetables confirm to air the episode on Saturday, May 24, 2025. This comes after the weekly drop schedule was established on April 12, 2025, with new episodes released every Saturday on UK and global platforms.
With showrunner Russell T Davies at the helm once more, and Ncuti Gatwa as the Fifteenth Doctor, joined by Millie Gibson and Varada Sethu, fans are anticipating that this episode will bring with it crucial narrative turns that will go straight into the finale, 'The Reality War,' on May 31, 2025.
Release Date and Streaming Details of Doctor Who Season 15 Episode 7
Episode 7, Wish World, will air on Saturday, May 24, 2025. The episode follows up on the weekly release of Season 15, which started around mid-April. This episode is significant as it paves the way for the season finale, concluding major story arcs around the series.
In the United Kingdom, Doctor Who is shown on BBC One and becomes accessible for streaming after transmission on BBC iPlayer. Internationally, including in America, exclusive rights are held by Disney+.
New episodes tend to be available at the same time or shortly after the UK broadcast, allowing worldwide audiences to keep up with the narrative.
What happened in the previous episode?
Episode 6, 'Rogue,' had a one-off adventure that found the Doctor and his friends caught up in a sensational interdimensional battle. As much as the specific events differ in tone and style, the episode kept the season's theme of choice, identity, and consequence.
The episode also built up on Ruby Sunday's mystery, suggesting greater revelations to come as the season draws to a close.
What to expect from Doctor Who Season 15 Episode 7
Being the penultimate, Wish World should be heavy on both emotional and plot stakes. Although there is no official plot synopsis for this episode, this episode will likely explore Ruby Sunday's past more fully, a thread since the start of the season.
The stakes for the Doctor and his companions should increase in this episode, possibly into conflicts or reveals that lead up to the finale. Since the narrative structure of Russell T Davies, a major cliffhanger or twist is also possible.
