The Pitt stars Noah Wyle and Katherine LaNasa made a special appearance at Warner Bros. Upfronts this morning and revealed a major teaser—the time period when Season 3 will take place.
“We’re about to start production on Season 3,” Wyle shared. “It’s set in early November, just before the holidays, ushering in a whole new set of emergencies and confrontations and complications.”
Although he wasn’t specific as to which November holidays he was referring to, there are only two options: Veterans Day on November 11 and Thanksgiving on November 26.
Veterans have been an important part of The Pitt‘s storylines through multiple characters, including Shawn Hatosy’s Dr. Jack Abbot, and Season 2 newcomer Sepideh Moafi’s character Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi. In Season 2, the character of Duke Ekins (Jeff Kober) is introduced. He is an old friend of Dr. Robby’s (Wyle), who is also a veteran. While the November holiday is considered to be Thanksgiving, I wouldn’t cross out Veterans Day just yet.
As we previously reported, work on the writers for Season 3 began in March, as confirmed by executive producer and director John Wells.
“We will be back in production in June, and plan to be back on the air again the same week in January with 15 episodes next year,” Wells added.
The Pitt chronicles the urgent challenges U.S. frontline healthcare professionals face through the lens of the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center’s emergency department. Offering a real-time format, the series traces, hour by hour, the medical cases and personal crises physicians and nurses must navigate as they reckon with an overabundance of patients and a lack of resources.
Season 2 was set over Fourth of July Weekend.
