Best Medicine Wins Early Renewal as Familiar Cast Fuels Fox Remake

Strong casting and a cozy small-town tone helped the U.S. remake lock in a September return.

Overview

  • Best Medicine launched on Fox in January 2026 and has been renewed for a second season that will return in September.
  • Josh Charles stars as Dr. Martin Best, a surgeon-turned-general practitioner who develops a fear of blood and relocates to the fictional Port Wenn.
  • Coverage highlights Abigail Spencer, Annie Potts, Josh Segarra, Cree and John DiMaggio as recognizable supporting players whose prior TV work shapes viewer expectations.
  • The series adapts the long-running U.K. show Doc Martin while filming around the Hudson River north of New York City rather than in Maine.
  • The quick renewal reflects network confidence that familiar cast faces and the show's gentle dramedy tone will keep a broad broadcast audience engaged next season.
