Andrew Bird has penned a new song for the HBO series The Pitt. The aptly titled "Need Someone," which Bird wrote with the medical drama's composer, Gavin Brivik, appears in the show's next episode, set to air tonight (February 12) at 9 PM EST. Give it a listen below. The new song is not Bird's first creation for the small screen. He's written music for FX's Baskets and the 2021 PBS documentary series Storm Lake, and made appearances on FX's Fargo and Disney's The Muppets.

Such is life for a TV doctor. "We all naturally get very tired, which we're all very grateful for," Howell explains. "It works for our characters on screen because they're all very tired at this point in the story. They tend to put less makeup on me the longer we go, because it's like, 'No, you're looking tired. This is perfect!'"

Wait, is back already? And audiences didn't even need to wait four years for it? The trailer for season two of the Emmy-winning drama is already here, just eight months after the first season finished airing. The high-intensity drama, which follows just one shift in its doctors' lives per season, sees the cast clocking in on the Fourth of July, when the surgeons will presumably have to deal with a slew of fireworks-related injuries. Plus, it's Doctor Robby's (Noah Wyle) last day before a hiatus.

Aside from Adolescence, which had the limited series category all sewn up, it felt like every single nomination was either for Severance or The Studio. Emmys 2025: full list of winners Of these, The Studio's ascendancy seemed most locked in. Here, after the controversy over The Bear's deliberate lack of laughs, was a comedy comedy; something designed from the ground up to be funny. Plus, it was about the entertainment industry, which always appeals to the myopic interests of the Emmy voters.

Netflix's breakout drama Adolescence has triumphed at this year's Emmys, winning six awards. The series, which became the streamer's second most-watched show ever, won for limited series, directing and writing and also picked up three acting awards. Owen Cooper became the youngest ever winner of the award for best supporting actor in a limited series. In his speech, the 15-year-old called the experience just so surreal.

It's one of those beautiful and subversive works that comes together right when it's needed, offering another way of organizing society - egalitarian yet hierarchical.

As speculation builds about The Pitt finding a British broadcaster and ITV medi-thriller Malpractice returns, we've counted down the top 20 greatest TV medical dramas ever.

"The Pitt is a gripping MAX original that immerses viewers in a modern emergency department, showcasing a 15-hour shift filled with intense challenges for Dr. Robby."

If you find yourself missing Noah Wyle's Dr. Robby following the season finale of Max's breakout hit The Pitt, it might be time to commit to the long-term binge-watch that is ER.
