   A possibility, yes. But it would depend on the contract that   
   Disney signed with the BBC. After all, Disney invested millions   
   into the show, so what do they get back for that? So it's also   
   possible those episodes stay on Disney+ for a period of time.   
      
   Either way, there's no guarantee the show will return to   
   free-to-air channels overseas either. Another streaming service   
   could, in theory, pay for the rights to those episodes.   
      
   We'll find out in due course... probably after the spin-off   
   series airs. But don't hold your breath waiting to see Ncuti   
   Gatwa strutting his stuff on ABC anytime soon.
