Overview
- The Fox series Best Medicine is scheduled to return in September for a new season, continuing the U.S. adaptation of the British show Doc Martin.
- Josh Charles stars as Dr. Martin Best, a Boston surgeon who left his hospital after developing a fear of blood and relocated to the small, fictional Port Wenn to work as a general practitioner.
- Abigail Spencer plays Louisa Gavin, a skeptical local schoolteacher whose direct, steady presence is being framed as crucial to grounding Dr. Best’s brusque and traumatized character.
- Reviewers say the show’s future success will hinge on keeping a humane, low‑soapy tone that emphasizes kindness and character work over melodramatic plot twists.
- Best Medicine adapts a long‑running UK series and features a familiar ensemble that includes Annie Potts, Josh Segarra, Cree and John DiMaggio, with filming based in locations that stand in for the Maine village of Port Wenn.
