Gotta love that movie magic. Or prestige TV magic, whatever. HBO Max released the first scene of The Pitt season two, and it seamlessly blends location shooting in Pittsburgh with interiors shot on the Warner Bros. lot. “We had the set design before we started writing because there is no way to write a show like this without knowing the space,” creator R. Scott Gemmill said at the show’s season-one press preview. “This matches so close to the Allegheny Hospital in Pittsburgh that it’s incredible.”
But we’re not here to marvel at the set design or to try and figure out which of Pittsburgh’s many bridges Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) is traversing. We’re here to check out his hog. Dr. Robby got a midlife-crisis motorcycle, and he’s driving it without a helmet. For shame! Other than the bike, we have very few clues as to how this Fourth of July is going to go. The music playing over the scene is vaguely ’90s divorced-dad rock. It all adds up to a portrait of Michael Robinavitch still struggling with PTSD (with a few more traumas, thanks to season one). The Pitt season two premieres on HBO Max January 8. Maybe it’ll be a fun, stress-free day?
