Popular U.K. dramedy “Doc Martin” is coming stateside. Fox has given a series order to “Best Medicine,” a one-hour comedy series starring Josh Charles as Doctor Martin Best.
The series is executive produced by Ben Silverman, Rodney Ferrell, Liz Tuccillo, Mark Crowdy and Philippa Braithwaite.
“The story of Doc Martin has resonated worldwide with its humanity, originality and humor, and with ‘Best Medicine’ coming to FOX, that eccentricity gets a smalltown America spin, complete with idyllic charm and absurdity,” said Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television Network. “Liz, Mark, Philippa, Ben and Rodney have done a terrific job adapting this signature character for the Fox audience, especially in casting the terrifically talented Josh Charles as our lead.”
