HBO Max has renewed The Pitt for season three ahead of season two of the hit medical drama premiering on Thursday.
HBO and HBO Max chairman and CEO Casey Bloys announced the renewal during the series’ season two premiere event in Los Angeles Wednesday night.
The Pitt season two takes place 10 months after season one, over the July 4 weekend, giving Noah Wyle’s Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch and the other characters some time to deal with the issues that emerged from the mass shooting and other incidents that took place in season one.
In addition to Wyle, the series, created by fellow ER alum R. Scott Gemmill, also stars Patrick Ball (Dr. Langdon), Katherine LaNasa (Dana Evans), Supriya Ganesh (Dr. Mohan), Fiona Dourif (Dr. McKay), Taylor Dearden (Dr. King), Isa Briones (Dr. Santos), Gerran Howell (Whitaker), Shabana Azeez (Javadi), and Sepideh Moafi (Dr. Al-Hashimi).
Despite traumatic experiences and exits from the emergency department in season one, LaNasa’s charge nurse Dana and Ball’s Dr. Langdon both return in season two.
The first season of The Pitt won five Emmys, including best drama series, best actor (Wyle) and supporting actress (LaNasa).
The series is produced by John Wells Productions with Warner Bros. TV. Gemmill, Wells and Wyle executive produce alongside JWP’s Erin Jontow, Joe Sachs, Simran Baidwan and Michael Hissrich.
More to come.
