History

In 1999, beginning with the story "The Sirens of Time", Big Finish Productions began producing a series of audio adventures featuring the Fifth Doctor, Sixth Doctor and Seventh Doctor. For 22 years these stories continued collectively known as Big Finish's "Main Range". In May 2020, Big Finish announced the main range would conclude in March 2021 and subsequently replaced with regular releases of each Doctor's adventures continuing in their own respective ranges. Several previously released special titles were retroactively reallocated into these new ranges by Big Finish.

Big Finish's official plot synopsis says "There is always injustice to fight. There is always a new danger for the universe. But what if the Doctor found a way to put things right, once and for all? Would it really be so terrible to take a stand? Would the end justify the means? And would his friends agree? The Seventh Doctor’s last day is coming…"

On 23 May 2024, Big Finish announced their slate of boxsets for 2025. Senior Producer John Ainsworth said “The Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Doctors will feature in two box sets each, as in previous years. I shan't give too much away but expect companions old and new, some classic series monsters that haven't featured on audio for a decade, and a name that's been hiding in plain sight (and it's time to go there...).” The first boxset is scheduled for June 2025.

The second boxset is scheduled for November 2025.
