In the final of the season of “The Pitt”, Dr. Michael “Robby” Rabinovitch examines Victoria Javadi, medical student and begins to laugh almost maniac. Fassed with a day when the emergencies in which they work were flooded with patients of a mass shot and recovery of a ventilation of mental health that occurred overnight, he speaks: “I have just realized that it was your first quarter of work.”
No more laughing. Others join.
“I can almost guarantee that the next will be easier,” said Rabinovitch, played by actor Noah Wyle, to the character played by Shabana Azeez.
This will probably be the case, but viewers will not see it in season 2.
According to the executive producer R. Scott Gemmill, the weekend of July 4, the release of the second outing of the successful drama will take place during the weekend of July 4. And the action will once again be intense. That is to say, of course, by design.
With a season of “The Pitt” entirely in a single quarter hospital, the development of the development and the history of the characters seems as precise as the intubations described in the series.
“I think we do in a way what we did in the first season … Any information you obtained was just out of conversation and behavior,” said Gemmill. “It was a challenge, that’s for sure, and it remains such, but it is also a great way to write because you have to show a certain restraint. I think it also looks authentic because we only get stories of people. We are not to sit and speak for two and a half hours on someone’s background when we meet them.”
Gemmill, a longtime producer whose credits include “Jag” and “ER”, spoke with CNN alongside colleagues from executive producers John Wells, a legend whose page IMDB can be read as a list of pre -summary televisions.
For his part, Wells thinks that “The Pitt”, which has experienced a season of beginnings in small groups, owes a part of its success to trust “the intelligence of the public”.
“The public is very literacy on history and on the character, and we don’t have to make the spoon (them),” he said. “You can give small pieces and clues and I think it is pleasant for public members to understand things about people in the same way that we try to understand the things we encounter.”
More conversation is below. The questions and answers were slightly published and condensed for more clarity.
CNN: The narration this season has been incredible – almost frightening sometimes, because you all predicted the measles epidemicFor example. Are you the new “Simpsons”? Are you going to start predicting Super bowl scores And Media mergers?
John Wells, Executive producer: (Laughter))
R. Scott Gemmill, Executive producer: Part of our work is to be exact with the drug and what are the trends and what is happening in society. So when you talk to the experts and you talk about what concerns them, what worries them, what do they see, if we do our work correctly, we offer things with regard to competitors. The thing about the emergency service is that it sees everything – all the ailments of the company – before the rest of the company. They saw fentanyl overdoses, they saw the Caisses du AIDS, they saw a covid. They see it long before us because they are sort of the safety net for the world. So, if we are talking about a story that has not yet struck the dominant current, probably when it is broadcast.
Is this research process already underway for season 2?
Gemmill: Yes, we had an expert today just to talk about changes in the availability of health care and how it will affect people, especially people of color with diabetes. And, basically, if you think there is a health crisis now, if things continue, it will be just as bad, if not worse. It is very discouraging, and we are therefore trying to do our best to attract this to the attention of the public.
Well: I think it is fair to say that during a given week during this whole process, (we speak) at least three or four experts in separate matters. And then we have many doctors who are in the room of writers and available at any time. It is therefore a constant research project.
CNN: In the final of season 1, Dana (Katherine Lanasa) and Dr. Langdon (Patrick Ball) have very open scenarios. The reality is that emergency rooms are like any workplace; They can be rotating doors. What can you say, first of all, of these characters and what could be in reserve for them, but also of brutal that you are ready to be in the name of remaining authentic in the work of work in medicine, who are that people are advancing?
Gemmill: Well, at the first question, we hope to see several faces come back. Some (characters) will have to go through their own process to determine whether they want to come back or not. And some must jump through other hoops before they come back. Regarding the brutal that we are ready to be, you would be surprised. I think that we are a question of authenticity and that some characters are more likely to leave than others according to their place of medical profession. Still person. But in the show, we may have to see people go just to keep it authentic because they would not necessarily remain.
Well: And people work different quarters of work. Not all working quarters are from 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Because you don’t see someone in the first episodes does not mean that he does not work.
CNN: Regarding Santos (Isa Brones) and Whitaker (Gerran Howell), they became roommates at the end of the season. It is almost like an opportunity to build in a little humor. Was it something you discussed in response to comments on the fact that the show was too intense? Because I’m going to be honest, watching the show gives me terrible anxiety, in the best way.
Gemmill: Well, we have always known that Whitaker lived in the hospital. We were playing with this from the first day, and there are small clues throughout the season on this subject. The Santos of all this only came later and it was just a thought that after having simply brutalized this guy all day, what happens if she throws a branch of Olivier? It seemed to be a really nice gesture because I think these two linked themselves because of what they experienced. I think we won it. I don’t think it looked like a false decision.
Well: Although I think we are really considering a spin-off sitcom. (Laughter))
CNN: “A multi-cam. Totally unexpected.”
Well: Exactly.
CNN: I want a little on Abbott (Shawn Hatosy) and the conversation on the roof of Robby, which was incredibly played. If they do not get the attention of the Emmy for that, I will be very angry.
Gemmill: I would say that the line through the first season is really Robby and his trip, and sound, to date – the denial of what really eats it. He has never accepted the SSPT of what he experienced with COVID and normally does not even work today. We just put it in a pressure cooker full of triggers. And, at one point, the thing he tried so hard to forget and is almost in denial, it breaks. He returns to the surface and forces him to recognize it because there are no more refusals because other people have seen him. If Whitaker had not seen it in there, I don’t know if Robby would have been on the way to healing, but I think he is now.
Abbott having this kind of existential crisis at the start was made for fun, but also, that is part of whom he is. It has not been released this season, but it’s a widower. And he lost his leg and he was in combat and I think he had a little crisis of faith at the beginning, which is renewed by seeing the mass victim (event because that) is what he does best. I think that for Abbott, it convinced him what he should do, and he found himself. Robby has sort of lost, but they end up both in the same place and in opposite positions. Now, it is Robby who looks in the abyss, and it is Abbott who is there to remove it. I think it talks about this kind of friendship and what they have. It is a real fraternity in medicine in a way for a moment.
CNN: All this season was a love letter to health workers, honoring their sacrifices and their difficulties. Robby joking in the final with one of the young doctors than “the next will be easier”, that each quarter work will not be so bad. The irony is that viewers know that next season will not be ponies and rainbow.
Gemmill: Well, it was “I hope God has no other mass shoot.” That more spoke to the murderous mass aspect. I think it was a pious wishes (from Robby), but I also think that we are exceeding on crazy days. I think there are days when it is probably not so crazy, but they do not do television (laughter). So, on the days when they only get four patients, we will not do this episode.
CNN: Because you don’t have 24 to fill! You have 15 and you should use them well.
Gemmill: That’s right. Although I think we were ready to remove the socket after 12, but we pushed. (Laughter))
