The show The Pitt quickly became popular after it first aired nearly a year ago. Both critics and viewers liked how realistically it depicted life in a hospital after the COVID-19 pandemic. Each season takes place during one 15-hour shift, with the story unfolding in real time over 15 episodes.

HBO Max reported that the show was a hit, averaging almost 20 million viewers per episode globally after its debut. It also received critical acclaim, winning five Emmy Awards – including the top prize for Outstanding Drama Series – and acting awards for stars Wyle, Katherine LaNasa, and Shawn Hatosy.

Because the show is so popular, HBO Max is changing its plans for future programming. They’re now looking to create more series that follow a similar approach: longer seasons, smaller budgets, and a new season released each year. They’ve already started working on two pilot episodes, one a police show and the other a family drama.
