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.”

I could watch this drama every night, and lately we have. Please reconsider and keep Doc Martin on your schedule PLEASE!
I certainly think they should bring back Dr Martin. It has all the funniest dramas to the abnormal behaviours, dysfunctional individuals to the many who have no commonsense, and of cause, the one man that literally is running the town, our aspergillosis Dr Martin, oh to only be able to be as brilliantly obnoxious as he plays, his part was a breath of fresh air to a village community that has it all. If you do bring it back could you make a story line around why the dog/dogs watch over him persistently and please get the policeman out, he… Read more »
I love the Doc Martin series and am really looking forward to viewing the final episodes! With that said, I am sorry that the series ending. If I ever get the chance to go back to England my dream would be to visit the lovely seaside village of “Port Wenn” (Port Isaac)! Thank you for all the wonderful years of entertainment!
I could watch Doc Martin every week for the rest of my life
I agree with all who love Doc Martin. Thank God our local PBS stations keep showing reruns. I’ve seen every one at least 4 or 5 times. I am truly sad that the series is ending!
