Dr Who fans will have to shell out $12.99 a month for a Disney+ subscription if they want to watch future series of the iconic British show.
TVNZ has lost the rights to the series.
The BBC has reached a deal that will see Dr Who only available on Disney+ outside the UK and Ireland.
The next series of Dr Who will debut on Disney+ late next year, with Rwandan-Scottish actor Ncuti Gatwa as the 14th Doctor.
