This week it was announced that Doc Martin season 8 will make its season premiere earlier than expected, and Americans will not have to wait long to start watching the Brit favorite. In fact, Doc Martin season 8 will premiere in the U.K. on ITV on September 20th, and Americans can watch it on Acorn TV on September 21st without commercials. The series, starring Martin Clunes, is set in the fictional Cornwall town of Portwenn.
The full Doc Martin cast is back this season, including Dame Eileen Atkins who plays Doc Martin’s Aunt Ruth, whose personality is the closest match to Martin. Dame Eileen Atkins might look familiar to fans of the Netflix series The Crown as she played Queen Mary, mother of King George and Edward VIII. In her role as Queen Mary, she puts her foot down at the idea of Edward’s love Wallis Simpson becoming a royal.
