It looks like Doc Martin is finally retiring. RadioTimes reports the ITV series will end with season nine in 2018.
Created by Dominic Minghella, the long-running UK medical dramedy stars Martin Clunes as the only doctor in a small Cornish village. The cast also includes Caroline Catz, Ian McNeice, Joe Absolom, John Marquez, and Selina Cadell.
Clunes spoke to RadioTimes, confirming that season nine will be the last for Doc Martin. Season eight is slated to debut later this year, and the final season is expected to premiere in autumn 2018.
From Clunes:
We start making [series 8] in spring and it’ll probably be on air in the autumn. So [series 8] is the second to last.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Doc Martin? Are you sad the show is ending?
I love this show but also looking forward to see how it is ‘wrapped’ up. Wish they had done the same with Home Fires; nothing worse than to be left hanging with a cliff-hanger ending!!! Arrgg..
I know good things can’t last forever, and sometimes shows last longer than they should. That said, I will be devastated when I view the last episode!!!
Yes Absolutely my Husband & I Always watch Doc Martin !!!
Love it!!
Love Doc Martin. It will be a sad day when series 9 brings it to an end. Absolutely worth watching. Great acting, scenery and direction. While they are on hiatus, I watch the series on Acorn TV. I’m about to re-watch it again.
Yes!! M VERY sad!! Your shows are very funny and uplifting with a WONDRFUL cast and BEAUTIFUL scenerey..not like the dry HOT desert here in Tucson, Arizona..i LOVE watching.. My question is..how does the cast feel about it? M gonna MISS everyone..especially BURT Large
Doc Martin, has been the best show on PBS here in the states, for years now!
I’m sorry to see it end, cast and crew have been top notch! Any chance of a couple of Doa Martin movies to follow up with?? Just a thought! Thanks to all for wonderful Dramedy, well worth the cost!!! Bravo! More please!!!
If you have Netflix Martin Clunes has some very watchable documentaries. He is very funny and entertaining.
Yes… I’ve viewed some of them and chuckled because he’s anti dog on his show but lovingly likes wildlife… still want more Doc Martin…
One of the most witty and thoughtfully written Series on the telly. Love the English humour and look forward to seeing how the Series wraps. I’m confident that with their superior writers and this set full of absolutely excellent, skilled actors, it will be an entertaining, joyful hoot to watch.
AGH!!!! I feel like I’ve grown up with this show. Even though I’m old. I wonder what Caroline Catz will be doing with two shows going bye, bye.
Big fan. Watched every episode at least once. Will watch as long as it’s on TV — 9 seasons 19 seasons — I’ll be there.
I’m in the US. My husband and I love this show. We have been watching it on Netflix… over and over again. We never tire of it and have been waiting for the new season. Will be so sad to see it go.
Doc Martin is the highlight of my week. I’m glad we have two more seasons but will be sad when it is over. In my opinion, the best TV out there. Love this series.
Doc Martin is the highlight of my week for television. I’m glad we have two more seasons but TV won’t be the same once it’s over. Love this series.

This is one of the best TV shows I have watched. Dr Martin is my feel good medicine. Looking forward to the next two seasons.
