Good news, Doc Martin fans! After months of speculation and discussion about the future of the show, filming has officially started on the next season.

ITV announced that star Martin Clunes and the rest of the Doc Martin crew have returned to Cornwall to start production on Season 8. The real-life town of Port Isaac stands in for the fictional village of Portwenn, and watching the series film has become something of a pastime there for locals and visitors alike.

“I’m thrilled to be back on the beautiful North Cornish coast to shoot series eight of Doc Martin, “ Clunes said in the official press release. “The Doc is as obstinate as ever, but he is trying his best to be a better husband and father.”
