What happens
The Pitt is an American medical drama television series created by R. Scott Gemmill and executive produced by John Wells and Noah Wyle. It is Gemmill, Wells, and Wyle's second collaboration; they previously worked together on ER (1994–2009). It stars Wyle, Tracy Ifeachor, Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa, Supriya Ganesh, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell, Shabana Azeez, and Sepideh Moafi. Each season follows emergency department staff at a fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center as they navigate a single 12-hour shift amid staff shortages, underfunding, and personal crises. Each episode is set in real time and depicts approximately one hour of the shift. The Pitt premiered on Max (later rebranded as HBO Max) on January 9, 2025. The series has received critical acclaim for its performances, writing, direction, format, and realism. It has also been praised by physicians and medical publications for its accuracy, realistic representation of healthcare workers, and portrayal of the stressors faced by medical staff in a post-pandemic world. The Pitt was renewed for a second season in February 2025, which premiered on January 8, 2026. In January 2026, ahead of the second-season premiere, the series was renewed for a third season. The series has received several accolades. The first season won five awards at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Casting, along with acting wins for Wyle, LaNasa, and recurring guest star Shawn Hatosy. It also received Best Television Series – Drama at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards. Additionally, it was listed as one of the 10 best television programs of 2025 by the American Film Institute.
