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 have watched the reruns several times waiting for the series to return. I love this show. Very sorry to hear it is going to end after the ninth year. Thank you for giving us such a great show to enjoy.
I love Doc Martin. Our PBS station hasn’t shown it for over a year. KIXE
There are so few good shows anymore
I absolutely love, and have always loved, Doc Martin and so disappointed to find out it’s being cancelled. I’ll miss the Doc and the cast of characters and the seaside village of Portwenn. Well, at least we’ll always have re-runs.
Love Doc Martin, I found it by accident really on Amazon on a lazy weekend. I was hooked. I say I want to be in Port Wenn after every episode, and I will visit some day soon I hope. On top of the location, every actor in this series makes it the best of Brit TV. Glad to see we will get 2 more seasons at least, what a great show.
Love the Doc and the wonderful characters that people the beautiful Port Wenn! Will be sorry to see it end!
I’ve so enjoyed the series,have all the dads. Will be sad to see it end, like losing an old friend!
Doc Martin is a breath if fresh air is beautiful surroundings brilliant acting all round i love corwall so will deeply miss Doc Martin when ends
Dr.Martin is great! It has it all, drama, comedy, developed characters. Very sad it’s ending.
I have enjoyed Doc Martin since it has been broadcasted in the states. The characters are unique and funny, the writing is wonderful and the scenery breathtaking. I am hoping to visit England next year just to see Port Isaac. I will definitely miss the series when it ends.
What a brilliant series! What a shame, but I expect it had to end sometime, as, although various characters have passed through, it is essentially Clunes, and Katz who have provided the main storylines.
They obviously have to use their personal talents in other directions, in order to further their careers. Aye.
I am sad to see it this brilliant series come to an end. Doc Martin is the best entertainment on Television, remarkably entertaining and humorous! I love it!
And of course Selina Cadell! Love her “Mrs. Tishell”!
A nice family show with no bad language. Love the cast and beautiful scenery.
Yahoo!! Doc Martin is an absolutely wonderful series. My husband and I love it. Very excited they will continue to season 9. Happy
I recently discovered This program. It is wonderful. I have seen all seven seasons and admire Martin Clunes for the way he vocalizes all the medical terms!
I will be so sorry to see this series end.
DO NOT believe it till the chubby lady cries….TOO good of a show to stop…so many good plots to explore….Doc Martin, to Infinity and Beyond!!
YES, YES, and YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Doc Martin and am sad to think it will be over in 2018 forever.
