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?
Oh No!! I loved Doc Martin and all the characters They are not coming back? This is a sad day!
I am saddened to hear there will be no more “Doc Martin”. This was my favorite show of all times. 🙁 🙁 🙁
I had not seen this series before, but I love these humorous episodes…he is perfect for the part! I came across this on vision TV. Canadians, like myself, love British comedy. I am so sad to see this end, I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode. I believe his wife is the producer, , kudos to her for making this so captivating! Mary Lou! Love you all! We will so. Is this show…may you succeed in whatever endeavours you pursue…
I love Doc Martin. So devastated to learn it will end with Season 9. The scripts and actors are a joy to
watch every season. Nothing can replace it. Especially enjoy the scenes between Martin and Louisa.
I am devastated! My very favorite show since I found it a year or so ago. Suddenly, my PBS Station stopped showing it. No notice or anything. Just gone!,
Why is it ending? I love this show, it’s my fav, along w/As time goes by.
Love this show. So sorry it will be ending. Great cast
This is my favorite TV show. Please keep it going!
PLEASE BRING DOC MARTIN BACK TO PBS/BBC; I LIVE IN WISCONSIN AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE HIM EVERY WEEK AGAIN.
PLEASE D o not cancel Doc Martin with Season 9. You have many programs that stay on the ar longer than that. Foyel’s War, Midsummer Murders. Poriot etc. Thank You
I have grown to like this show and the characters very much. I’m already sad that “Aunt Joan” has died, and “Pauline” is no longer on board. The end of the series is difficult to anticipate for me. If it can be extended, I would be ever so grateful!
When will Season 8 of Doc Martin air again on PBS in 2018? Season 7 finished this evening and a new show is starting next week. Thanks.
Ending? But we get stuck with shows that are 30 year old crap like keeping up appearences,as time,goes by. Looks like you are just dumbing down from quality to trailer trash. What a shame that you don’t understand that America knows the value of this show and you insult the intelligence of many with this hatchet job. You must think I voted for Trump or something
I am saddened to hear that this show will be ending. It is the most unusual show I have ever watched (I am a 65 yof), beginning with the opening music, the breathtaking setting of Port Isaac, to the individuality of each character, especially the extremely talented Martin Clunes. The story lines are so different that I can never anticipate what will happen next, which is a refreshing change from almost every other series show on the air. I love seeing the architecture of the buildings and how this part of the world lives. It will break my heart to… Read more »
I am 65 as well and our generation needs this show instead if Lawrence Welk
LOVE THIS show> please don’t end it!!
Among the most intelligently written comedy shows ever aired – the English dry humor is so entertaining. Why stop when you are so successful???
