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 loved the show but could only watch the same series re-run twice. We got only 2 different series, then 3 seasons of re-runs. I kept tuning in, only to be sadly disappointed with last years show. What a waste of talent.
I just found the Doc Martin series last week. I even subscribed to Acorn TV just to get season 7 and 8. I have watched all episodes available in just a few days. Please don’t end the show. I love it. Would continue watching on whatever channel I have to.
By far, the best I’ve seen in 70 years.
This is a wonderful show… please don’t end it!! I love this show.
So sad this show is not coming back! I just started watching a few months ago! Now i’m hooked! Please don’t go! Please!
This is one of the best shows I’ve seen in years. I started watching Doc Martin, Series 1 through 6 on Netflix on a weekend binge and got hooked. As an Amazon Prime member, I watch the entire series through Acorn TV. I will greatly miss it after series 9 ends. Great writing, acting and directing.
Love love this show will miss it. I even watch the repeats over and over every Saturday on our PBS network. Only wish they were not 2 years to wait for the new season??? Doc you just have to give the scruffy adorable dog some love and James too… More hugs and kisses for the wife too. Beautiful setting for the show. Would love to visit the village it is soooo BEAUTIFUL!!! I’ve seen all your work.
Your fantastic.
Big Fan,

A fascinatingly, clever concept of “city-mouse” ~ “country-mouse”. The show has mezmorized me from the onset. It will be sorely missed & conjure-up in exiting, a tearful good bye.

My family and I love Doc Martin but it seems we are getting shows from a couple of seasons ago and we hav3 seen all of them. Such a funny interesting show @bout grumpy Doc Martin.
Yes I have the series on DVD. Such a quirky lovable show
I Will miss Doc Martin very much. It is one of my absolute favorite shows !!!!!!!
I will miss it terribly
I’ve watched “Doc Martin” first on PBS, then over and over on ACORN TV. The actors, writers, directors, producers have put together such a charming show which makes me “happy”. Not many TV shows can achieve that. Here in the U.S. “Grace & Frankie” on Netflix is following the excellent example that “Doc Martin” has set.
Thank you everyone involved for such a awesome show! You are all greatly admired!

Please tell the UK writers, actors, art directors, craftspeople, thanks from many of us.
I’m a Black man in St Louis MO, I just started watching 3 months ago. Watching the old episodes also. My wife got me watching now I watch more than her. This sucks.
