U.S. remake of 'Doc Martin' is in the works at FOX

FOX is producing a U.S. Remake of the British medical series Doc Martin called Best Medicine, set to premiere in the 2025-26 season.
This remake arises after the original Doc Martin, which aired from 2004 to 2022 over ten seasons, gained worldwide acclaim for its unique story and character.
Best Medicine centers on Dr. Martin Best, portrayed by Josh Charles, a highly skilled surgeon who leaves his successful career in Boston to return to a small East Coast fishing village from his childhood, where he takes on the role of the local family doctor.
Michael Thorn, FOX Television president, said the show offers a small-town America spin with 'idyllic charm and absurdity,' and executive producers adapted Doc Martin’s signature character for U.S. Audiences.
The new series may engage fans of the original while bringing fresh comedic procedural elements, highlighting the main character’s blunt bedside manner and personal psychological issues.
