It sounds like Doc Martin is hanging up the stethoscope. In a recent interview with Radio Times, star Martin Clunes revealed the ITV series will end with season nine.
Created by Dominic Minghella, the long-running UK medical dramedy stars 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.
In the interview, Clunes said season eight begins filming this spring and it will be the second to last season:
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.”
Season eight of Doc Martin is expected to air in the UK on ITV this fall, with the ninth and final season expected to premiere in 2018.
What do you think? Do you watch Doc Martin? Are you sad it’s ending?
So sad, I watch it on Netflix. There’s currently very little worth watching on Netflix.
I was looking forward to many more Doc Martin episodes.
Totally delightful series. We have thoroughly enjoyed each episode, each season. Are hoping that the final conclusion will see Doc Martin as an enlightened and happy person surrounded by friends ( leave out wicked mother, PLEASE). Icing on the cake would be seeing him embrace the little pooch and welcoming Buddy into the home. Congratulations to all who have made this series such a gem!
WISH THE SHOW COULD CONTINUE!!!!
BEST SHOW PBS HAS TO OFFER, HOPE IT GETS RENEWED
WE ARE EXTREMELY SAD TO SEE IT END, IT IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWS ON PBS, WE REALLY LOVE TO WATCH THE SHOW, WISH THEY WERE MAKING ALOT MORE OF THEM, REGRETS!!!!
I look forward to this show and hope that it can continue despite your plans to cancel. What a loss to all of us who need our appointment with Doc Martin every week!
Definitely do not cancel,absolutely love this show,it will be a terrible loss to many of us
I am in love with this series and hate to see it end, there are so many ways Doc Martin can grow with his growing family that could delight the fans.. Do not cancel PLEASE
I just don’t want it to ever end. I feel like I know the people in the town. So well done.
It will be a very sad day for all of us when the Doc is no longer in Portwenn. And the poor townspeople will likely do themselves in without the Doc’s care.
