An American adaptation of the British TV drama “Doc Martin” is in development, with Josh Charles attached to star. The series centers on a big-city surgeon who relocates to a coastal town after developing a fear of blood. The premise mirrors the core setup of the original “Doc Martin,” which follows a surgeon’s move into a smaller community. The casting choice places Charles, known for roles including on “The Good Wife,” as the lead in the new version. One report also frames the announcement in the context of other television adaptation projects and discusses related casting or tone considerations, but the main information across the coverage is the existence of an American remake and Charles’s starring role. The sources do not provide additional details such as network, release date, or supporting cast, focusing instead on the central character’s move and the condition driving the relocation. The adaptation is presented as an American take on the familiar format and character dynamic from the original British series.
