‘The Pitt’ Season 2 Recruits a Very Familiar Face as Director
The PittstarTaylor Dearden, who plays fan-favorite Dr. King, recently sat down with Collider to discuss the highly-anticipated second season. And while she did not get into the gritty details of the plot, she revealed some behind-the-scenes news that will excite fans of the medical drama. Noah Wyle, who stars as Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch, will return to write several more episodes of The Pitt. However, he will also step behind the camera as the director for one episode. If you’re wondering how Wyle could possibly handle all of those responsibilities at once, Dearden is also unsure.
“It’s asking questions. It’s asking a lot more questions. Noah, I heard Noah is writing four of the episodes and directing one this season, which I just cannot understand how you can do that many things.”
Wyle is no stranger to prestige medical dramas. He was nominated for five Primetime Emmys during his run as John Carter inER, which is widely regarded as the spiritual predecessor toThe Pitt. Getting the chance to infuse his unique knowledge in the genre inThe Pittwill surely give the beloved streaming series another boost that will have viewers on the edge of their seats or reaching for the tissue box (or both).
