According to a news article published on November 3, 2025, the upcoming Fox comedy series "Best Medicine" will follow the story of Dr. Martin Best, played by Josh Charles. Dr. Best is a brilliant surgeon who unexpectedly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child.
However, the locals in this small community are determined to make Dr. Best a beloved "Doc Martin" figure, despite his icy manner and standoffish replies. From the local restaurant to the traditional town fair, the quirky residents seem intent on embracing the new doctor, even as his blunt bedside manner rubs them the wrong way.
What the locals don't know is that Dr. Best's terse demeanor actually masks a debilitating new phobia and deep-seated psychological issues that prevent him from experiencing true intimacy with anyone. The supporting cast includes Abigail Spencer, Annie Potts, Cree, and Josh Segarra. "Best Medicine" is set to premiere on Fox in January 2026.
