I love everything about Fox’s quirky charmer Best Medicine. Josh Charles is rarely a miscast, Port Wenn is a picturesque setting, the rom-com component is twisty, and the side characters are divine. So, obviously, I assumed this series was going to be cancelled after one season. Turns out, it avoided the axe this spring, which is great news. Even better news? It will return in the fall instead of the spring. Sadly, this doesn’t mean what I initially hoped it would mean.
News broke this week that Best Medicine will hit the 2026 TV schedule on September 22. This continues its Tuesday night airing slot on Fox, and it will still be lined up with Doc. It also means we won’t have to wait until midseason for new episodes. I honestly thought this was great news when the date came down the pipeline, because Season 1 had aired in a tougher dead of winter slot. Bumping it to fall shows confidence in this little series, which makes me happy.
