Doctor Who: The Movie (2019)
With the conclusion of the 13th Doctor's run on television, actor Ewan McGregor appears for a final time as the 13th Doctor, which he has held a role in for nearly four and a half years. The film had guest appearances by Matt Smith and David Tennant as the 11th and 10th Doctors respectively, and the 12th Doctor, who was played by Simon Pegg makes a brief cameo.
The film depicts the epic battle between the Daleks, Cybermen, Humans, and an unknown faction. It also answers the question if the Doctor's 13th incarnation is his last (It is not). Other of the Doctor's companions make appearances in this epic 3 hour film, which made Box Office records in not only the UK, but in the United States, where it made over 2 billion dollars. It introduced Doctor Who to the American public, being one of the first foreign shows to have large ratings on major networks. A Doctor Who channel was added to many American cable providers due to the popularity of the show following its release.

The film won academy awards for Best Picture, with Best Actor being given to Ewan McGregor for his performance as the Doctor. David Tennant was given the award for best supporting actor, with Karen Gillan and Daniel Radcliffe being nominated for that award. It also won the award for Best Score. The 13th Doctor started regenerating at the end of the film, but his new identity had yet to be revealed until the 2020 series began.
Due to major American attraction, much more additional funding was given to the series, with the 2020 series being paid for 22 episodes, rather than the 14 usually for each Series. It was picked up by NBC for 4 Seasons in a new deal, however, its writing and production would be handled by the BBC.
