After Doc Martin stole hearts in the U.K. from 2004 to 2022, the executive producers brought the show overseas to Fox under a new title, Best Medicine.
The premise is the same, following a socially awkward doctor in a small town who, despite everyone’s negative snap judgements, turns out to be exactly what they need. Dr. Martin, or in this case, Dr. Best’s heart is softened along the way too.
Good for fans of the original, or newcomers to the plot, Best Medicine season 1 is coming to Netflix four months after it wrapped on air. The second season was confirmed in March 2026.

The novel was adapted for a 1979 film but is now getting new life on Netflix with a cast of young talent and an irreverent bend to the writing.

Starting in 2021, a couple MLB seasons have included a specialty game modeled after the beloved 1989 film Field of Dreams. The game, which is between the Philadelphia Phillies and Minnesota Twins this year, is played adjacent to the actual field that was popularized in the movie.
While they can’t promise the same magic as the movie, Netflix’s live airing of the game should deliver lots of fun for baseball fans across the country.
