The Pitt Showrunner R. Scott Gemmill on New Attending, July 4th
Speaking with EW, Gemmill had some fascinating insights into the hit streaming series to offer, with the interview confirming that Season 2 will hit HBO Max screens in January 2026. In terms of the time frame, the showrunner also confirmed that the second season will take place 10 months after the end of the first season, and will cover a 15-hour shift over the course of July 4th.
"It was really driven by wanting to have the Langdon character back and knowing how much time he would've had to spend in rehab and going through his recovery process. We knew it had to be about 10 months, [which] took us into the summer. We played Labor Day, essentially, for the first season, so we decide to play this on the 4th of July," Gemmill shared, explaining how the time jump would allow Dr. Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball) to be back on our screens. With the season set during Dr. Langdon's first day back from rehab for drug addiction, it will be interesting to see his first one-on-one with Wyle's Dr. Robby and how the rest of the shift reacts to his return.
Gemmill also shared some backstory on Dr. Al-Hashimi (Black Bird and Generation Q: The L Word star Sepideh Moafi), a new attending who previously Dr. Mel King (Taylor Dearden) and Dr. Samira Mohan (Supriya Ganesh) at the VA Hospital. "She's gonna be someone who's very progressive in her approach to medicine and believes in the modernization of the medical field," the showrunner shared. "And Robby's a little bit more old school, and there'll be a little bit of, let's just say, tension as they try and figure out how to work together." Gemmill added, "Robby has a very specific way of how he likes to run his emergency department, and Dr. Al-Hashimi has her own specific ways of how she likes to run an emergency department, and they're not necessarily cohesive."
Starring Wyle as Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, the critically acclaimed series offers a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today's America, as seen through the lens of frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh. Each episode follows an hour of Dr. Robby's (Wyle) 15-hour shift as the chief attendant in Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center's emergency department. Tracy Ifeachor (Dr. Collins), Patrick Ball (Dr. Langdon), Katherine LaNasa (Dana Evans), Supriya Ganesh (Dr. Mohan), Fiona Dourif (Dr. McKay), Taylor Dearden (Dr. King), Isa Briones (Dr. Santos), Gerran Howell (Dennis Whitaker), and Shabana Azeez (Victoria Javadi) also starred in the first season.
Sepideh Moafi has joined the cast for the second season as a series regular, with Charles Baker, Irene Choi, Laëtitia Hollard, Lucas Iverson, Lawrence Robinson, Brittany Allen, Bonita Friedericy, Taylor Handley, Jeff Kober, Rusty Schwimmer, Jayne Taini, Annabelle Toomey, Rusty Schwimmer, Jayne Taini, and Annabelle Toomey.
HBO Max's The Pitt is produced by John Wells Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, where JWP is under an overall deal. Gemmill created the series and executive produces the series alongside Wells, Wyle, JWP's Erin Jontow (Emperor Of Ocean Park, Rescue: HI-Surf, Maid), Simran Baidwan (Manifest, Ordinary Joe, The Good Doctor, Chicago Med), and Michael Hissrich (Shameless, The West Wing, Third Watch).
