The BBC is currently searching for a production company to create and produce the series, which will run independently from the main show.
Patricia Hidalgo, Director of Children’s and Education, said: “Everyone is welcome at CBeebies, including the Doctor!
"This is an extremely exciting opportunity, and we are looking forward to welcoming companies to pitch for this new project, as we continue our commitment and investment in the UK’s animation industry.”
The full pitch document details attributes of Doctor Who that the BBC is eager to retain, including iconic elements of the series like the Doctor being an alien from Gallifrey, having the TARDIS and using the sonic screwdriver.
It details that the Doctor should be "hugely intelligent, especially with scientific knowledge" and aspirational for the audience, as well as having a strong moral compass and avoiding physical combat, instead "relying on intelligence, humour, and diplomacy to resolve conflicts".
As for the iconic Doctor Who monsters? It sounds like there won't be too much hiding behind the sofa, as any villains in the animated series should be "more mischievous or bumbling, rather than menacing, and provide the Doctor with challenges that can be overcome in a non-threatening way".
BBC Studios will distribute the series.
It ran for five seasons from 2007 to 2011, with a reunion special airing in 2020 to say goodbye to the character and to actress Sladen following her death.
Doctor Who is available to stream on BBC iPlayer in the UK and on Disney+ outside of the UK.
