Get ready for a thrilling TV twist! Fox's upcoming series, 'Best Medicine', is about to become even more captivating with a special guest star. But here's the intriguing part: it's a reunion of sorts!
The series, inspired by the beloved British show 'Doc Martin', has cast none other than Martin Clunes, the iconic actor who portrayed the titular character in the original series. However, this time, Clunes will not be reprising his role as the beloved British doctor. Instead, he'll be playing a new character, Dr. Robert Best, the father of the lead character, Dr. Martin Best.
And this is where it gets controversial! Dr. Robert Best is described as a highly skilled gastroenterologist with a strong-willed personality, making his son's bedside manner seem charming in comparison. When he visits his son in a quaint New England town, he ruffles feathers and creates tension with his estranged sister and Martin's aunt. But beneath his aloof and cold demeanor, Robert hides secrets that could disrupt Martin's life and force him to confront his past.
The talented ensemble cast of 'Best Medicine' also includes Abigail Spencer, Josh Segarra, Cree, Didi Conn, and many more. With Fox Entertainment studios at the helm and a production team featuring Liz Tuccillo, Ben Silverman, and Doc Martin's very own producers, this series promises to be a must-watch.
Martin Clunes has an impressive resume, starring in shows like the BBC's 'Men Behaving Badly' and ITV's 'Manhunt'. He's also set to appear in the upcoming feature film adaptation of 'Wuthering Heights' by Emerald Fennell.
