Doc Martin to end with series 10 and Christmas special, confirms Martin Clunes

All good things...

‘Why is Doc Martin ending?’ is the question all fans of the Martin Clunes comedy drama have been asking themselves.

Series 9 concluded in November 2019. And many viewers at the time questioned whether the cliffhanger final episode might be the last ever.

That’s partly because ITV tweeted after the last instalment of series 9: “Goodbye, Doc! We’ll miss you #DocMartin.”

Indeed, star Martin – married to show producer and writer Philippa Braithwaite – has speculated about the future of the series previously.

For example, he told Digital Spy in 2017 that any episodes beyond series 9 were dependent on being commissioned by ITV.
