While touting The Pitt‘s 13 nominations on Tuesday, Noah Wyle gave a hint about what to expect in season 2 of the HBO Max medical drama.
In April, executive producer R. Scott Gemmill, EP John Wells and EP/star Wyle appeared at Deadline’s Contenders TV in April and shared that the next 15 hours of The Pitt will take place over a Fourth of July weekend.
Season 2 will pick up 10 months after the final hour of Season 1, which wrapped on April 10.
Of the new season, Wyle tells Deadline, “it’s one of those things where you get in the room and you have a successful first season. Do we go bigger and better and louder and faster? Our job is not to outdo ourselves. Our job is to do ourselves. So think about what worked the first time and do it again. Don’t think about raising a bar on yourself. You don’t have to play by the rules we’ve established. Be faithful to the characters. We introduce the world to take the story that much further. So that’s kind of what our discipline’s been. There are exciting things that will happen, but it shouldn’t feel like we need to come out the gate with a bang to get attention. I think we’ll just tell another story.”
Created by R. Scott Gemmill, the series follows Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch’s (Wyle) 15-hour shift as the chief attendant in the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital’s emergency room. Each episode is one hour in Robby’s frenetic day. Cast also includes Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa, Supriya Ganesh, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell and Shabana Azeez.
