""We had the set design before we started writing because there is no way to write a show like this without knowing the space," creator R. Scott Gemmill said at the show's season-one press preview. "This matches so close to the Allegheny Hospital in Pittsburgh that it's incredible.""
"But we're not here to marvel at the set design or to try and figure out which of Pittsburgh's many bridges Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) is traversing. We're here to check out his hog. Dr. Robby got a midlife-crisis motorcycle, and he's driving it without a helmet. For shame!"
"The music playing over the scene is vaguely '90s divorced-dad rock. It all adds up to a portrait of Michael Robinavitch still struggling with PTSD (with a few more traumas, thanks to season one). The Pitt season two premieres on HBO Max January 8. Maybe it'll be a fun, stress-free day?"
The season-two opening blends Pittsburgh location shooting with Warner Bros. lot interiors to recreate Allegheny Hospital with striking accuracy. Set design was finalized before writing to ensure scenes fit the physical space. The scene reveals Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) riding a midlife-crisis motorcycle helmetless, accompanied by vaguely ’90s divorced-dad rock, emphasizing mood over plot. The imagery underscores Michael Robinavitch's ongoing struggle with PTSD and suggests additional traumas from season one continue to affect him. Season two in Pittsburgh arrives on HBO Max on January 8.
