Martin Clunes Joins Fox’s Best Medicine as the Lead’s Father

The guest turn links the U.S. dramedy to ITV’s long-running original, signaling Fox’s push toward a midseason debut.

Overview

  • Clunes will guest as Dr. Robert Best, an accomplished, headstrong gastroenterologist whose arrival rattles the town and his estranged sister Sarah, played by Annie Potts.
  • Josh Charles headlines as Dr. Martin Best, a brilliant Boston surgeon who becomes a GP in a small East Coast fishing village.
  • The official description says the prickly doctor hides a debilitating new phobia and deeper psychological issues from the locals.
  • The ensemble includes Abigail Spencer, Josh Segarra and Cree, with additional supporting roles reported across the cast.
  • Fox Entertainment Studios produces and wholly owns the series, Fox Entertainment Global handles distribution, and a midseason launch is planned without a confirmed premiere date.
