I think all of us “Doc Martin” fans will agree with that statement. The good news is that we can look forward to Series 8 and 9 before the finale of “Doc Martin.”
I’m not sure why an end date has been set for the show. It’s still popular all over the world, and I believe many more story lines could be tapped to continue indefinitely. Oh, well, we’ll have to especially relish the next two series.

So sorry after season 9 there will not be another doc martin love his shows ill. Be glad to get 8 and 9 seasons to complete my collections i have already
Amen!!!!! I can’t bear the thought of the end! So when can I get 8 and 9?????
Hi, I expect S8 and S9 will be available on Acorn after the shows begin airing in the United States. S8 won’t be aired until at least October 2017 or possibly 2018. S9 will air in 2019 or 2020.
Please keep reminding and maybe even updating us . I need a new Doc Martin fix~!

Thank you for sharing that information.
When I was in Port Isaac in June the manager or owner not which she was said that there is a possibility that S9 will be filmed in 2018 not 2019.
