'The Pitt' Renewed for Season 3
-------------------------------
HBO Max's "The Pitt" has been renewed for a third season.
HBO CEO Casey Bloys made the announcement Wednesday, Jan. 7,
during "The Pitt" Season 2 premiere at the DGA Theater in
Los Angeles.

The news comes one day before the premiere of the Emmy-winning
second season of the Noah Wyle medical drama from John Wells.
The series, created by R. Scott Gemmill, premiered in 2025 and
tells the story of healthcare workers inside a Pittsburgh
emergency room over the course of 15 episodes. Each season has
taken course over one shift, with each episode covering an
hour of the shift.

The first season earned 13 Emmy nominations and won five - best
drama; drama casting; and acting trophies for Wyle, Katherine
LaNasa and Shawn Hatosy. On Wednesday, the show was nominated
for two Actor Awards and two DGA Awards.

"It's hard to make any good show, regardless of whether it's
comedy, drama or documentary. But what John and Noah and Scott
wanted to do going in was to do a high-quality show, but also
one that was set up in a way that you could do 15 episodes. So,
the concept of the show being on essentially one set made the
budget manageable," Bloys told Variety after the Emmy wins.
"And you have a group of people who understand how to make
15 episodes, but also how to bring it back on an annual basis.
That is the one thing I think that we've gotten away from in
television, that ability to bring shows back on an annual
basis."

Wyle leads the cast alongside LaNasa, Hatosy, Patrick Ball,
Supriya Ganesh, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones,
Gerran Howell and Shabana Azeez. Sepideh Moafi joined the cast
in Season 2 as Dr. Al-Hashimi.

Wells, Gemmill and Wyle serve as executive producers along with
Erin Jontow, Joe Sachs, Simran Baidwan and Michael Hissrich.
