Hey, guess who’s back? Paging the one and only Dr. Carter!
Max just greenlit a straight-to-series order for “The Pitt.” It’s a fresh medical drama with Noah Wyle both in front of the camera and behind it as an executive producer. And guess what? He’s not alone. Fellow “ER” alumni John Wells and R. Scott Gemmill are joining him in the executive producer’s lounge.
“The Pitt” is gearing up for a 15-episode run. It aims to dive deep into the struggles healthcare workers face in today’s America. All this action is set against the backdrop of a bustling hospital in Pittsburgh.
Oh, and there’s more. Related stories are popping up left and right. Like, remember that time the “ER” cast got real about their revival concerns? Or when they ranked NBC’s best 10 pm shows ever? Yeah, those were the days.
The trio, Gemmill, Wyle, and Wells, are pretty stoked. They’re thanking Warner Bros. Television and Max for this chance to revisit urban medicine’s gritty reality. They’re ready to tackle the ever-growing challenges in modern medicine head-on. And let’s just say, they’re not holding back.
Sarah Aubrey, the head honcho of Max’s original programming, is all in. She’s thrilled to be working with such a visionary team. Their passion and creativity are through the roof, promising a series that’s both authentic and impactful.
And for a bit of nostalgia, let’s talk about Wyle. He’s best known for his iconic role as Dr. John Carter on “ER.” That show was a staple for 15 seasons, ending in 2009. Wyle was a regular till Season 11, popped in for Season 12, and then came back to wrap things up. If you’re feeling nostalgic, you can stream all 331 episodes on Max and Hulu.
Since “ER,” Wyle’s been busy. He’s led series like TNT’s “Falling Skies,” CBS’ “The Red Line,” and Prime Video’s “Leverage: Redemption.” He even revisited his role as Flynn Carsen on TNT’s “The Librarians.” And there’s buzz about a new offshoot, “The Librarians: The Next Chapter,” coming to The CW. Will he be back? Stay tuned.
