‘The Pitt’ producers break down the gripping finale and what to expect in Season 2
CNN
Executive producers R. Scott Gemmill and John Wells breakdown the action in “The Pitt” Season 1 finale and look ahead to the new season.
In the season finale of “The Pitt,” Dr. Michael “Robby” Rabinovitch looks over at medical student Victoria Javadi and begins to laugh almost maniacally. Weary from a day when the ER in which they work was inundated with patients from a mass shooting and recovering from a mental health breakdown that happened in the aftermath, he speaks: “I just realized this is your first shift.” More laughing. Others join in. “I can pretty much guarantee the next one will be easier,” Rabinovitch, played by actor Noah Wyle, tells the character played by Shabana Azeez. It probably will be, but viewers won’t see it in Season 2. The hit drama’s sophomore outing will actually take place 10 months later, set during Fourth of July weekend, according to executive producer R. Scott Gemmill. And the action will, once again, be intense. That is, of course, by design. With a season of “The Pitt” set entirely in a single hospital shift, plotting out character development and story seems as precise as the intubations depicted on the show.
