Warner and Courtney reprised their roles for the eighth story in the range, ''Masters of War''. In 2016, Warner and Gatiss reprised their roles as the Doctor and the Master respectively for ''The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield'' audio drama series: ''The Unbound Universe'' and its sequel ''Ruler of the Universe'' in 2017. After being pulled from the ''Unbound'' universe into the regular continuity of the Doctor Who universe, both characters have made ongoing appearances in various Big Finish ranges.
In February 2022, after a 14-year hiatus, Big Finish Productions announced the return of Unbound. Two boxsets, comprising 3 stories each, feature Colin Baker as an alternate warrior Doctor known as "The Doctor of War" in a universe where the Fourth Doctor made the ultimate decision on Skaro, destroying the Daleks, and showing how events may have unfolded after that fateful decision was made. These boxsets were announced to be released in April and September 2022 respectively.<ref name="DocofWar" />
On 28 September 2022, Big Finish re-released the original first 8 stories in a download boxset titled ''Doctor Who: Unbound: 1-8 Collected.''<ref>{{#invoke:cite|web|title=Doctor Who: Unbound: 1-8 Collected - Doctor Who - Unbound - Big Finish |url=https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/doctor-who-unbound-1-8-collected-2757 |access-date=2024-04-19 |website=www.bigfinish.com}}</ref>
From 2017 to 2021, David Bradley reprised the role of the First Doctor in Big Finish's The First Doctor Adventures range, having played the character in the 2017 Christmas special "Twice Upon A Time" and 2022 Centenary special "The Power of the Doctor" as well as 2013 docudrama "An Adventure in Space and Time" in which he portrayed original First Doctor actor William Hartnell. Bradley co-starred with Jemma Powell, Jamie Glover and Claudia Grant who had played actors Jacqueline Hill, William Russell and Carole Ann Ford in the docudrama as well as playing the actors' original parts of Barbara Wright, Ian Chesterton and Susan Foreman.<ref>{{#invoke:cite|web|title=Doctor Who - The First Doctor Adventures - Ranges - Big Finish |url=https://www.bigfinish.com/ranges/v/doctor-who---the-first-doctor-adventures |access-date=2024-04-19 |website=www.bigfinish.com}}</ref> On 11 February 2022, it was announced that Stephen Noonan would instead take over the role of the First Doctor with a portrayal closer to the character's original depiction.<ref>{{#invoke:cite|web|title=Stephen Noonan is the First Doctor! - News - Big Finish |url=https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/stephen-noonan-is-the-first-doctor |access-date=2024-04-19 |website=www.bigfinish.com}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{#invoke:cite|web|title=Revamped Doctor Who audio ranges from Big Finish - News - Big Finish |url=https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/revamped-doctor-who-audio-ranges-from-big-finish |access-date=2024-04-19 |website=www.bigfinish.com}}</ref> In April 2022, Executive Producer Nicholas Briggs expressed interest in producing further stories with Bradley.<ref name=":0" /> In Issue 167 of Big Finish's magazine Vortex, Briggs teased further stories featuring Bradley's portrayal, saying "We've some very exciting plans afoot for further stories with David Bradley — something quite out of the ordinary and rather delightful."<ref>{{#invoke:cite|web|title=Issue 167 - Vortex - Big Finish |url=https://www.bigfinish.com/vortex/v/167 |access-date=2024-04-19 |website=www.bigfinish.com}}</ref> On 17 April, it was announced Bradley would continue to play a new alternate version of the First Doctor alongside Powell, Glover and Grant as alternate versions of their respective characters, but now as part of the Unbound range instead, in a series titled ''The First Doctor Unbound.''
