It is produced by John Wells Productions and Warner Bros. Television. Gemmill exec produces alongside Wyle, John Wells, Erin Jontow, Joe Sachs, Simran Baidwan, and Michael Hissrich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Pitt launches its second season at 9 p.m. ET on Thursday, January 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Season 2 will pick up 10 months after the final hour of Season 1, which concluded April 10. Showrunner R. Scott Gemmill hinted that Season 2 will take place over the Fourth of July weekend during a day-long shift, which will likely see all kinds of ER patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gemmill also teased that Wyle\u2019s character, Dr. \u201cRobby\u201d Robinavitch, will acknowledge that he needs help regarding his mental health in Season 2. A main thread in Season 1 was Robby\u2019s inability to cope with his mentor\u2019s death during the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Sunday, Wyle won Best Actor in a Drama Series at the Critics’ Choice Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI can\u2019t even tell you how moved I am. I owe everybody at this table everything: from my partner [R.] Scott Gemmill, to Sarah Aubrey and Joey Chavez at HBO Max, to everybody at Warner Bros., to my beautiful wife Sara [Wells], to my costars, to my cowriters, to the directors who make the show, to our crew, to our cast,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
