HBO Max ditched it because the ratings were crap. Amazon ditched it 
because the ratings were crap even before that. Netflix ditched it 
because the ratings were crap earlier still. Cable ditched it because, 
you've guessed it, the ratings were crap ever since the series went woke 
and stopped representing Britain as the world saw it.

There's no one else remaining to pick up Doctor Whoke. No one in their 
right mind will touch it while the degenerate wokery remains and that 
includes the Timeless Child monster which is an albatross around its neck.
