"The team behind HBO's " The Pitt " probably knew they had something special, but even they had to be shocked by the remarkable success of one of the best shows of 2025. It turns out that not only is there still life in the medical drama, but that treating the profession seriously, rather than just using it for melodramatic network TV, is a route to the hearts and minds of viewers."
"With career-best, award-winning work from Noah Wyle, the first season of "The Pitt" came along at just the right time in January 2025, using memories of COVID, the nightmare reality of mass shootings, concerns over national healthcare, and a brilliant structure to connect with viewers. As Wyle led a remarkable young ensemble through 15 brutal hours at a Pittsburgh hospital, the show grew in buzz with every episode, winning Emmys months later for Best Drama, Actor, and Supporting Actress."
The Pitt achieved remarkable success in early 2025 by treating medical practice seriously and connecting with viewers through topical themes and a strong structure. Noah Wyle delivered career-best, award-winning work as Dr. Robby, leading a talented young ensemble through 15 brutal hours at a Pittsburgh trauma center. The first season leveraged memories of COVID, mass shootings, and national healthcare concerns and won Emmys for Best Drama, Actor, and Supporting Actress. The second season opens on a frantic Fourth of July shift as Robby prepares for a sabbatical. The new season avoids repeating last season's trauma-centric arc while retaining intensity and urgency.
