Season 3 of ‘The Pitt’ Likely Not Set During a Holiday
HBO Max recently confirmed the renewal of the acclaimed series “The Pitt” for a third season. Star Noah Wyle shared that the creative team is brainstorming new concepts for the upcoming episodes.
Season 3 of ‘The Pitt’ Will Move Away from Holiday Themes
While Season 2, which premiered recently, takes place during the July 4th holiday, Wyle hinted that Season 3 is likely not to follow a similar holiday theme. In a conversation at the Season 2 premiere, which took place at the DGA Theater Complex in Los Angeles, he expressed his thoughts on the timeline of the series.
Insights from the Cast and Crew
- Noah Wyle indicated the new season might not leap as far into the future, unlike the previous 10-month gap.
