Josh Charles To Star In Fox Adaptation Of British Hit ‘Doc Martin’ Ordered To Series For 2025-26


Josh Charles is set to play the lead in Best Medicine, a Fox series remake of the hit UK medical comedy-drama Doc Martin.

Best Medicine centers on Martin Best (Charles), a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child. This marks the seventh international adaptation of the British series, which was created by Dominic Minghella and produced by Buffalo Pictures in association with Homerun Film Productions. Doc Martin was brought to the U.S. by Propagate Content, taking Silverman back to his roots as an agent and then-producer focused on British format adaptations, including The Office, whose acclaimed NBC version he executive produced.
