‘The Pitt’: Noah Wyle and EPs on Crafting a Medical Drama That’s ‘Completely Different’ From ‘ER’ and How Its Real-Time Format Works
'The Pitt' team — Noah Wyle, John Wells, R. Scott Gemmill — break down Episode 4 (which Wyle wrote), and discuss how the show is different from 'ER.'
More than 30 years after rising to global fame as John Carter, a wide-eyed, fresh-faced intern, on the NBC smash-hit medical drama “ER,” Wyle has returned to the same genre as an overworked senior attending physician in a beleaguered emergency room in Max’s “The Pitt.” Having received a lot of mail from first responders who expressed that “ER” had inspired them to pursue a career in healthcare, Wyle initially tried to redirect all of the compliments to Wells, the showrunner who oversaw the most successful early seasons of the show. Noah, you wrote this week’s episode, which features a particularly moving storyline involving the end-of-life care of Mr. Spencer (Madison Mason), with his two middle-aged children sitting at his bedside and saying their goodbyes.
