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?
Iam greatly saddened at Doc Martin ending. They could come back and have a treasure chest full of ideas based around raising their child. It would be hilarious. Please have them think about it. Takea break first thn come back renewed and start a script based on raising their son. Perhaps another child could be added. You have a lot you could do with such a story line. Please give it some thought.
I LOVE Doc Martin and wish it could go on…and on….and on….
I could watch this show forever. I always want to know what wacky medical dilemma they will come up with next! The interaction among the characters is awesome. I actually laugh out loud sometimes. So sorry to see them go, but I’m sure they have actual lives. Ha
Great show, need two more seasons at least
No, it should be ” Just One More Series™️ ” that way we can request a new series at the end of each series (it is a British show and they call each season a series you see). As long as they agree to ” Just One More Series™️ ” the show will never die 😀
Absolutely love it. Simple , friendly, amusing entertainment – not like the rest of the rubbish
Love Doc Martin and all the characters in the show. It’s sad to think of it ending.
We love the show. Hate to see it caNCELED
I LOVE DOC MARTIN! I WISH HE’D CONSIDER MORE SASONS!! ALL THE GOOD SHOWS ARE ENDING!!
I am an old (90) retired surgeon and I compliment the advisory on the medical plots, each and every one! The casting is 100% perfect! Tears and laughter! My wife and I will never forgive the threat of an end to the best show on the TV!
I love Doc Martin. I am going to miss EVERYthing about it- intelligent writing, good humour, the characters/actors & the breathtaking scenery. With soooo much garbage on tv, it’s been a wonderful journey following a show of such high quality & calibre. If ever they decide to return, I will be waiting!- Best wishes to cast & crew on future projects- thank you from Canada for sharing your fantastic work with us!! 🙂
What a joy to have a Doc Martin and friends. He will be missed but I understand this is a show that takes time to film and the actors have been kind to consider their fan base.
Yes! My husband and I love the series ~ the series is clever and comical and the characters have become family. Always sad when there is a “final” season and episode because we miss having “our family” into our home via DVD. We will miss you all!!
Intelligent, funny, human – we really enjoy this. Hate to see it end.
I love the show and I’m probably addicted to it. I plan my Saturday nights around 8 o’clock not to miss a show and I go absolute frantic when the show is preopted on public TV for another event. Congrats to all the cast for a great family show.
Nooo say it isn’t so! I love this show. I can’t believe it’s ending.
