About Martin

Martin opened August 27, 1992 on Fox about DJ Martin Payne and wife Gina in Detroit. The first four seasons ran 27 episodes each through May 1996, with season 5 at 24 episodes ending May 1, 1997 after disputes trimmed the run.

Martin Lawrence plays multiple side roles around the leads, with Thomas Mikal Ford, Carl Anthony Payne and Tichina Arnold rounding out the crew and station plots. A BET reunion special aired June 2022, and a Young Martin prequel sits in development since 2024, but no new original episodes exist.

Good to know

Watch seasons 1 through 5 in air order. The running gags around Sheneneh, Jerome and the station need the early years to land. The last season trims Gina scenes after behind the scenes disputes, so expect a different balance at the close. The reunion special works as an extra after the finale, not a continuation.
