Doc Martin season 10 is going to premiere on Wednesday, September 7, at 9pm on ITV.

Assuming there won’t be any scheduling shake-ups, the final ever episode of Doc Martin will air on Wednesday, October 26, on ITV at 9pm.

All episodes will also come out on the channel’s free streaming service ITV Hub once an instalment has been shown on TV.

So there is no need to worry about missing it released live with users being able to catch up via the streamer.

Why is Doc Martin ending?

It was confirmed a couple of years ago that Doc Martin would be finishing with 10 series.

Actor Clunes and his wife and producer Philippa Braithwaite said in a statement: “We have loved making nine series of Doc Martin.

“When we launched the series in 2004 we could never have imagined how much our loyal viewers would take to the grumpy Doc like they have.

“The series has avid fans both in the UK and throughout the world and we are thrilled that Doc Martin has topped the ratings every time.

“However, after 16 years we now feel that the time has come to say goodbye to Portwenn. We will be making the 10th and final series in 2021 and we are very much looking forward to returning to Cornwall to film it.”

Following the final episode, there will be a couple more one-offs to look forward to later in the year.

As always, there will be a Doc Martin Christmas special to get excited about as well as an ITV documentary.

There is no release date for the special just yet and it is has been provisionally called Doc Martin – A Celebration.

Season 10 will see the former doctor question some of his life choices, including giving up his career.

Doc Martin now has a lovely home life, married to former teacher Louisa (played by Caroline Catz), who he has son James and daughter Mary Elizabeth with, as well as their dog Buddy.

As Louisa is pursuing a career as a child counsellor at his old practice, Doc is tasked with looking after his daughter.

Will he be able to adjust to this new way of life or will he want to return to the surgery after all?

Doc Martin season 10 premieres on Wednesday, September 7, at 9pm on ITV.
