The last time we saw new episodes of Doc Martin was way back in 2019, when Season 8 aired on Nine PBS.
Martin Clunes stars as the surly, self-centered, formerly hotshot surgeon in London, Dr. Martin Ellingham. The series centers around Martin, who after developing a fear of blood, is forced to change careers and relocate to the charming town of Portwenn, where he clashes with the village's quirky inhabitants.
In Season 9, Martin’s medical career hangs in the balance as the General Medical Council assesses his ability and determines whether he is fit to continue practicing medicine. All regular members of the cast will be reprising their roles. Season guest stars include Danny Huston (Succession) and James Lance (Ted Lasso).
There are so many reasons to love Doc Martin. The series is known for its beautiful production value, including its picturesque, seaside scenery, and it strives for a dose of medical accuracy.
To bring everyone back up to speed, a Season 8 encore will be broadcast July 13, 8 pm. The final season (10) will air at a later date.
