Max has ordered a 15-episode series for drama The Pitt, which stars and executive produced by Noah Wyle from The Librarians. R. Scott Gemmill will be serving as showrunner of the series, from John Wells Productions and Warner Bros. Television. The project marks a reunion for Wyle, Wells, and Gemmill, as they have earlier collaborated for ER.
The Pitt is a realistic examination of the challenges faced by healthcare workers in today’s America as seen through the lens of the frontliner heroes working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh.
The project is being produced by John Well Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, where JWP is under an overall deal. The first episode will be written by Gemwill, who will executive produce the series along with Wyle and JWP’s Erin Jontow, Michael Hissrich, and Simran Baidwan.
