Doc Martin is set for a US makeover by Friends co-creator Marta Kauffman.
The UK comedy drama stars Martin Clunes as a grumpy London GP who relocates to a seaside town he visited as a child and first aired in 2004 on ITV.
Now, it is being adapted for an American audience by Marta with Ben Silverman.
According to Digital Spy, Ben said: “We are thrilled to be adapting this hilarious, smart show for America.
“Doc Martin has charmed viewers worldwide with its excellent concept and unique style of comedy, and we’re proud to be working with Marta Kauffman on this exciting show.”
Marta added: “We are delighted to be working with Ben and his team on Doc Martin. It’s rare to connect with other producers who share the same sensibility and vision.”
Doc Martin in its original UK form has already been a hit in Canada.
