The first season of HBO\u2019s \u201cThe Pitt\u201d launched to great acclaim, excellent ratings and a whole bunch of awards. It also had a focus on a mass shooting as a major event within the narrative, along with Noah Wyle\u2019s Dr. Robby as a protagonist falling apart under the strain.<\/p>\n

The second season, launching with better critical reviews, has found itself subject to somewhat more criticism online and a social media firestorm. The focus has been a bit more scattershot with ICE agents, cyber attacks, meltdowns, and more, while Robby\u2019s behaviour toward his staff became outright hostile.<\/p>\n

Indeed, there\u2019s a big push from parts of the fandom to have Shawn Hatosy\u2019s ER night-shift chief, Abbott, get his own spin-off series. With the finale having just aired, those involved have spoken about where the franchise will go from here.<\/p>\n

Talking to Deadline<\/a>, Wyle says the chances for a spin-off series are slim: \u201cAnything is possible, but it\u2019s not probable.\u201d One thing we definitely will see is more of the night shift personnel next season.<\/p>\n

Creator R. Scott Gemmill was asked if the third season would allow us to spend more time with the night crew. He says Ayesha Harris\u2019 Dr. Parker Ellis \u201cis going to be working days\u201d in the third season, so expect a lot more of her.<\/p>\n

Gemmill says he tries to include the night shift \u201cwhen we can because it\u2019s a whole different dynamic,\u201d and of Hatosy\u2019s character says: \u201cI love writing for him; it\u2019s a great character. He adds gravitas to the scenes he\u2019s in. The more we can use him, the better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Producer John Wells confirms the third season is on track with the writers\u2019 room at several weeks into it, and filming is slated to begin in June. The 15-episode third season is set to air again in January.<\/p>\n

The complete first two seasons are now available on HBO Max.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HBO The first season of HBO\u2019s \u201cThe Pitt\u201d launched to great acclaim, excellent ratings and a whole bunch…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":537656,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[94966,96,391,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-537655","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-bigslider","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-tv","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537655","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=537655"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537655\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/537656"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=537655"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=537655"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=537655"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
