Doc Martin is ending its time on iTV and Acorn TV. The drama series will end with its upcoming 10th season, according to ITV. Martin Clunes stars as a grumpy physician in the series which has been around for 16 years. Production on the 10th and final season will start in the spring, and the episodes will air later in 2021.
Clunes and producer Philippa Braithwaite said the following about ending Doc Martin:
“We have loved making nine series of Doc Martin. When we launched the series in 2004 we could never have imagined how much our loyal viewers would take to the grumpy Doc like they have. The series has avid fans both in the UK and throughout the world and we are thrilled that Doc Martin has topped the ratings every time.
However, after sixteen years we now feel that the time has come to say goodbye to Portwenn. We will be making the tenth and final series in 2021 and we are very much looking forward to returning to Cornwall to film it.”
Polly Hill, from iTV, also spoke about ending the series, which also streams on Acorn TV in the United States. She said the following:
“I just want to thank Martin and Philippa and everyone involved in Doc Martin, because it’s a brilliant, beautifully made series that has delighted audiences for many years. I am pleased that we are making series 10, and sad this will be the last, but respect their decision to bring it to a close.”
What do you think? Have you watched this dramatic series on iTV or Acorn TV? Will you be sad to see Doc Martin end?
Please say it isn’t so: 10th Season is the last for Doc Martin and Cornwall I love and adore Martin Clunes ❤as Doc Martin and have a DVD collection of many of his works. The writing, production and acting ensemble of Doc Martin is one of the finest ever produced and ever performed. Thank you from across the Pond and from my heart ❤ for 16 glorious years of love and joy and now tears. God Bless you All.
My husband is British and we live in Virginia. USA. I’m an honorary Brit. I fell in love with Martin in Men Behaving Badly – wonderful cast! So glad Caroline was on Doc Martin for awhile! We both are rabid Doc Merton fans and will miss it terribly! I hope there will be specials once in awhile, like some British shows do. )I have a crush on Martin and wish I could meet him sometime.)
Excellent show! Feel like every single cast member is a longtime friend.

Love the show and everyone on it. Never miss an episode. And love the beauty of Cornwall as well!
I can’t say how much this series has meant to me, such a bright spot on television. It made me laugh so hard and I learned a lot too. Will I be sad? Yes, I will miss all the actors and the storyline more than I can say.
Yes it is sad to see the Series end. I just started watching in October of this year. Had to buy it on DVD to see what I was missing. Did alittle bing watching. As several have mentioned, no need for violence, sex or PROFANITY to keep a following of loyal fans! It will be hard to wait for production of the final Season / series 10. Congratulations on a “FILM” TV series like no other!
