Noah Wyle is back in scrubs, 15 years after ER ended. (He starred as Dr. John Carter on the long-running NBC drama.) The Pitt was given a 15-episode, straight-to-series order in March 2024.
In addition to starring, Wyle serves as an executive producer, alongside showrunner R. Scott Gemmill, John Wells, and John Wells Productions’ Erin Jontow, Simran Baidwan, and Michael Hissrich.
“We are grateful to Warner Bros. Television and Max for giving us this opportunity to return to the world of urban medicine. The myriad of challenges facing the doctors, nurses, technicians, patients, and their families who work in the trenches of modern medicine have become only more pronounced in the decade and a half since we last visited their stories,” Gemmill, Wyle, and Wells said in a statement when the series was announced. “We’re thrilled to be able to return to this world with the support of our partners and are looking forward to pushing the boundaries of dramatic realism and medical accuracy in following the lives of these heroic men and women.”
