HBO Max Medical Drama The Pitt Receives 13 Emmy Nominations

HBO Max's medical drama 'The Pitt' has emerged as a breakout hit in its debut year, earning 13 Emmy nominations, including Best Drama Series, Best Lead Actor for Noah Wyle, and Best Supporting Actress for Katherine LaNasa. The series has been praised for its medical accuracy and real-time storytelling, with each episode depicting one hour of a 15-hour ER shift led by Wyle's Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch. 'The Pitt' is among the most-watched streaming shows in 2025, ranking in the Top 10 according to Nielsen, and it holds a 95% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. While it performed strongly at the Emmys, some of its supporting actors missed out on nominations due to stiff competition from series like 'The White Lotus' and 'Severance.' Production is underway for a second season, set to premiere in January 2026, with the next storyline unfolding over a Fourth of July weekend. The show is produced by industry veterans with deep Pittsburgh ties, further strengthening its local connection.
