Just days after making its debut on Netflix US<\/a> (as we first reported), Fox\u2019s hit medical comedy-drama Best Medicine has rocketed up the Top 10 charts. If you\u2019ve already binged through all of Dr. Martin Best\u2019s quirky Maine adventures, you\u2019re likely wondering when the show will be back for Season 2 and when it\u2019ll eventually drop on Netflix. Here\u2019s everything we know so far.<\/p>\n

In case you missed it, Best Medicine\u00a0is the American adaptation of the beloved, long-running British series\u00a0Doc Martin. Led by Josh Charles, Abigail Spencer, and Annie Potts, the series follows brilliant but abrasive Boston heart surgeon Martin Best, who suddenly develops a debilitating phobia of blood. Forced to walk away from his prestigious career, he relocates to become a general practitioner in Port Wenn, a quirky coastal Maine fishing village where he spent his childhood summers.<\/p>\n

The first season aired on Fox between January and April 2026, and its episodes were added to Netflix on August 4th, 2026. Almost immediately, the show became a massive hit with Netflix subscribers, quickly surging past streaming originals to claim the #3 spot on the daily US Top 10 charts.<\/p>\n

Given that massive success, it\u2019s no surprise viewers are already clamoring for more. Will there be a Season 2 of\u00a0Best Medicine, and when will it be available to stream on Netflix?<\/p>\n

Has\u00a0Best Medicine\u00a0been renewed for Season 2? When does it air on Fox?<\/p>\n

Yes! Fans won\u2019t have to worry about the show being a one-and-done wonder. Because the show was a massive ratings success for Fox\u2014averaging around six million viewers per episode and growing its audience from week to week\u2014the network quickly handed down a Season 2 renewal back in March 2026.<\/p>\n

In an even bigger sign of confidence, Fox actually increased the episode order for Season 2, bumping it up from 12 to 14 episodes.<\/p>\n

If you have a traditional cable subscription or a digital antenna, you won\u2019t have to wait long at all for new episodes.\u00a0Best Medicine\u00a0Season 2 is slated to premiere on Fox on\u00a0Tuesday, September 22nd, 2026. It will also be available to stream the next day on Hulu.<\/p>\n

As for what to expect when the show returns<\/a>, Season 2 promises a few exciting cast shakeups and expansive plotlines. Stephen Spinella and Jason Veasey, who play fan-favorite husbands Greg and George (the New York transplants who own the local restaurant, The Salty Breeze), have been promoted to series regulars. Additionally, comedy legend Andrea Martin is set to guest star as Judith, a quirky chain-smoking friend of Aunt Sarah\u2019s who is sure to test Dr. Best\u2019s notoriously thin patience.<\/p>\n

Narratively, the new season will have to deal with the medical board discovering Martin\u2019s secret hemophobia, as well as the aftermath of his ongoing love triangle cliffhanger with Louisa and Eden.<\/p>\n

When will\u00a0Best Medicine\u00a0Season 2 be on Netflix?<\/p>\n

Like other licensed network titles on Netflix (including fellow Fox medical drama\u00a0Doc), there is no rock-solid guarantee that Season 2 will come to Netflix. However, given the show\u2019s incredible performance in the Top 10 so far, it is highly likely that Netflix and Fox will continue their licensing arrangement but we have seen numerous shows licensed from Fox only see their first season added and any future ones do not drop.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Assuming Season 2 does eventually come to Netflix, when can we expect it? We can look at the release schedule for the first season to get a pretty good estimate.<\/p>\n

The Season 1 finale aired on Fox on April 7, 2026. Exactly four months later, on August 4, 2026, the entire season dropped on Netflix.<\/p>\n

If Season 2 premieres on September 22nd with an extended 14-episode run, we can expect the finale to air on Fox sometime around late December 2026 or January 2027 (depending on holiday broadcasting breaks). If we add that exact same four-month window to the finale date,\u00a0we predict\u00a0Best Medicine\u00a0Season 2 will hit Netflix around April or May 2027.<\/p>\n

Of course, if you can\u2019t wait until next spring to find out what happens next in Port Wenn, Hulu will be your go-to destination to catch the show this fall.<\/p>\n
