Abigail Spencer will star alongside Josh Charles in the upcoming Fox medical comedy “Best Medicine,” based on the popular British series Doc Martin. Production will take place this summer in upstate New York.
The official description of the series states that "the series centers on Martin Best (Charles), a brilliant surgeon who abruptly leaves his illustrious career in Boston to become the general practitioner in a quaint East Coast fishing village where he spent summers as a child. Unfortunately, Martin’s blunt and borderline rude bedside manner rubs the quirky, needy locals the wrong way, especially local school teacher Louisa Glasson (Spencer), however tenacity is the creed of everyone in their small village, and the people who live there may be exactly what the doctor ordered."
Spencer's character of Louisa Glasson was played by Caroline Catz in the British series, and appeared in all 10 seasons of the original series. Spencer is known for her roles across a wide variety of shows like “Suits,” “Rectify,” “Mad Men,” “True Detective,” “Timeless,” and “Grey’s Anatomy.” She recently wrapped production on “Clean Hands,” in which she will star opposite Zach Braff and Esther McGregor.
