Another medical show will be joining Doc on Fox for the 2025-2026 season. Specifically, it will be part of the lineup in the midseason.
Best Medicine is based on the global hit Doc Martin. Josh Charles is set to star as the lead doctor, and the cast also includes Abigail Spencer and Josh Segarra. On Thursday, September 4, the network announced the recurring cast. Unlike Doc, a one-hour drama — and Fox’s previous medical hit The Resident — this is a one-hour comedy.
