It's almost time to bid farewell to The Doctor once more.
The final episode of Doctor Who season 2 (that's season 15 for anyone who's watched it since the show's 2005 revival) will be with us very soon. And, whether or not you believe the rumors that it'll be Ncuti Gatwa's last hurrah as the 15th Doctor, you won't want to miss what happens in this season's finale.
So, when will 'The Reality War' be released? Below, I'll tell you when and where you can watch Doctor Who's next episode. Set those co-ordinates for Earth via the TARDIS, everyone, and let's travel through time and space to find out more.
What time can I watch the Doctor Who season 2 finale?

'The Reality War' will be available to watch on Saturday, May 31 in most countries. However, Whovians in some nations won't be able to stream it on Disney+ until Sunday, June 1 because of time zone differences.
As for the actual time that one of the best Disney+ shows' next chapter be released on these services, 'The Reality War' will receive a simultaneous release across the globe.
That means that, while previous episodes dropped at, say, 12am PT in the US, season 2 episode 8 won't be available to stream on Disney+ until it premieres on BBC One in the UK.
