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 am broken hearted that my favorite show Doc Martin is going to end! Am 71 years old and have never enjoyed a show like I do this one. So wish I could have been able to afford to go to England to watch the filming of this heartwarming series. Everyone in the series will always have a special place in my heart. Fabulous actors!!! Thank you all for giving me the opportunity to watch such a wonderful series and such great actors! Love to you all.
I love the series and glad there’s more coming. I’m a fan of all the stars in Doc Martin. The
best acting on the planet. I’m in US and see the series on PBS. I hope to see more of Martin Clunes and Caroline Catz, my favorites.
I am definitely a fan of Doc Martin. A delightful show with exceptional humor.
Whoa, I must be behind. I think I’ve only seen up to season 6 and thought it might end season 7. I got to catch up. I’m also in the US and found it on PBS great series and I like the characters.
I live n American, and I’ve fallen in love with the village of Portwwen and all of the characters. Television at its best. BRAVO.
I am so truly upset to hear this. Doc Martin is one of the very best shows on television. I wish this fact was disputable… that fan opinions would be considered… I would write daily to complain. However, it appears the end is going to happen. Again, I am sad to bid Portwenn good bye. Over the years, I have come to think of them as “friends”.
my husband and I watch doc martin series and have bought all cd… we will probably will by the last 2 when available
I’m not one to watch TV much, I caught the show on PBS and found myself hooked watching every show. The acting, the humor, the story lines are wonderful. I LOVE the show and will pray that might continue for several additional seasons. Thank you for bringing me great enjoyment, I’ve Loved all of the many characters. I’m already watching the series for a second time. Thank you GB…from the USA we Love you all & will miss you…..❤️
Good doc MARTIN sad to be ending funny my favourite programe great actors actresses love martin clunes great actor
This is such a great show with amazing characters. I am waiting eagerly for the next season and very sad that will be the last. I am already going through withdrawal at the thought of no more Doc Martin.
We have enjoyed all the seasons of Doc Martin that have aired on PBS and in Netflix. Yes, we hate to see it end. We love the characters, cast, writing, scenery, drama, humor, music, etc. A huge thank you to the fantastic cast, writers, directors, producers, and all involved in the success of this series. It is wonderful series and there should be more like it.
We certainly will miss Doc Martin. The acting is excellent. The scenery is gorgeous.
Yes! My husband and I are serious fans of the series! We have watched and RE-watched every show, and own all 7 seasons on DVD. With so few quality shows on TV these days, we hate to see another truly good one come to an end. Thank you, Martin Clunes for entertaining us with your superb portrayal of cranky, introverted Doc Martin, and thanks to the entire Doc Martin cast. We look forward to the final two seasons!
All good things must come to an end………Doc Martin, such a great, great show but at least they will go out on their own terms, and we will still have 2 more seasons to watch. Can’t wait!!
We love ‘Doc Martin’ won’t be the same without it. Good English program. Love Cornwall too.
