    Hit Fox TV Show Renewed for Season 2
    ------------------------------------
    Fox is renewing a hit television show for a second season,
    bringing back a brand new show for another year on the
    network.

    What hit Fox TV show is coming back for another season?
    According to a new report from Deadline, Fox has decided
    to bring back Best Medicine, its recent freshman medical
    television series, for a 12-episode second season set for
    2026 - 2027. The series debuted to some strong numbers,
    and was said to be seen as essentially a lock for renewal,
    but now Fox has made the news official.

    Best Medicine is based on the ITV series Doc Martin,
    originally created by Dominic Minghella and developed by
    Liz Tuccilo. The series follows the story of Dr. Martin
    Best, a doctor who moves from a prestigious hospital
    position in Boston to a private practice in the small town
    of Port Wenn, Maine. The series chronicles his life in the
    town treating patients and overcoming his own issues.

    The series stars Josh Charles, Abigail Spencer, Josh
    Segarra, Cree, and Annie Potts. Recurring stars from the
    first season include Stephen Spinella, Jason Veasey, Carter
    Shimp, John DiMaggio, Clea Lewis, Michael Potts, Didi Conn,
    Ben Lewis Doherty, Cindy De La Cruz, Martin Clunes, and the
    canine Wattson.

    According to Deadline's report on the show's renewal, Best
    Medicine's premiere had 12.6 million total multi-platform
    viewers, good for top two amongst the highest-rated drama
    debuts of this season. No official release date or
    information has been revealed for Season 2 of Best Medicine
    as of now.

    Have you already seen the first season in its entirety? I've been
    watching since the beginning and haven't seen Clunes yet. I thought
    foreign broadcasts were *always* later than the first domestic broadcast.

    I had no idea this show was a hit and had thought it might be a "one and
    done" based on the IMDB rating, which is presently only 6.4. But
    apparently the right numbers of people in the right demographics are
    watching so it's a "hit", whatever that means these days.

    I've known of the British original, Doc Martin, for years but only
    finally watched it this past summer.
