Max Renews Medical Drama 'The Pitt' for Season 2

The Noah Wyle-led series, praised for its real-time storytelling and focus on healthcare challenges, will continue following its strong debut.

Max has officially renewed 'The Pitt' for a second season as its first season continues to air weekly, with the finale scheduled for April 10.
The show, starring Noah Wyle as Dr. Michael Robinavitch, is set in a Pittsburgh emergency room and uses a real-time format to depict a 15-hour shift across 15 episodes.
'The Pitt' debuted as one of the top five most-watched Max Original series premieres globally and domestically, with significant viewership growth in its first week.
The series has received critical acclaim, holding a 93% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and has been highlighted for its realistic portrayal of healthcare workers' challenges.
The renewal comes as the show faces a legal dispute with the Michael Crichton estate, which claims it is an unauthorized reboot of 'ER.'
