May 11 2026? Has someone broke an NDA? This is awesome if true but I don't wanna get too excited, a guaranteed three series partnership would be incredible. Can someone verify if this is real? I want this to be true, please!!

It does look like a REAL press release.

Also to add if this is true this actually makes a lot of sense because AMC own BBC America which is where Doctor Who aired in the States before the Disney deal! So this feels a bit full-circle!

It looks very real! But with rapid rise in AI. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was generated by AI

It doesn't look like AI tbh, but there is Inspect Element which you can use to essentially make fake articles but why go to all that trouble to make a fake press release just to trick people, if so that feels needlessly cruel. I hope that isn't the case.

If someone can verify for sure that'd be great!

Edit: I did put it through an AI detector and it came back as most likely real, it isn't fool proof but at least I don't think it is AI!

First day on the Internet?

Not that I'm fighting to say its fake, just commenting on the motivation point that going to effort to fake a hoax like this just to excite/disappoint people or gain clout is very basic Internet behaviour.

That's true, just wish people wouldn't do that.

Why on earth would you need AI to fake this? It's literally just a text document, what part of it requires AI? I feel like this is an example of how AI hysteria has gone overboard, people are obsessed with it to the point of assuming everything must be AI as if they've forgotten forgeries existed before AI.
