For 22 years these stories continued collectively known as Big Finish's "Main Range".[1][2] 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.[3][4] Several previously released special titles were retroactively reallocated into these new ranges by Big Finish.

[edit]The second boxset is scheduled for November 2025.[20]
