The War Doctor was an audio series produced by Big Finish Productions beginning in 2015. It starred the War Doctor, played by John Hurt. The series initially ran for four anthologies, of three stories each, with the final segment released in 23 February2017, only one month after John Hurt's death on 25 January of that same year.
Producer David Richardson confirmed in DWM 555 that a fifth box set was in planning stages, which would have featured the return of the General, but was cancelled following John's death.
A few years after Hurt passed away, the War Doctor was recast, with Jonathon Carley playing a younger version on the War Doctor, picking up immediately after the events of The Night of the Doctor.
