Max has released the first trailer for Noah Wyleis the next medical drama series set in a hospital The Pitt. The series comes from ER AND West wing executive producer John Wells.
The Pitt is described as “a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in America today, seen through the lens of frontline heroes working in a modern hospital in Pittsburgh, Penn.”
The first season will consist of 15 episodes and the story will take place during a 15-hour shift in the emergency room, with each hour-long episode depicted in real time, just as series 24 did.
It sounds like a great show, but it’s shrouded in a bit of controversy as it holds up Michael Crichton filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros. Television, claiming The Pitt is an unauthorized reboot of ERcreated by Crichton.
Warner Bros. TV responded to the lawsuit, saying “The Pitt it’s a completely different show than ER“, with HBO chief Casey Bloys recently telling reporters he doesn’t expect the litigation to impact The Pittthe January release.
R. Scott Gemmill will serve as showrunner of the series, with John Wells executive production. The series reunites Wyle, Gemmill and Wells, as all three had previously worked together ER.
Wyle, Wells and Gemmill said in a joint statement: “We are grateful to Warner Bros. Television and Max for giving us this opportunity to return to the world of urban medicine.
“The myriad challenges facing doctors, nurses, technicians, patients and their families working in the trenches of modern medicine have become even more pronounced in the fifteen years since we last visited their stories.
“We are thrilled to be returning to this world with the support of our partners and look forward to pushing the boundaries of dramatic realism and medical accuracy as we follow the lives of these heroic men and women.”
The series will premiere on Max in January 2025.
