The Pitt has been a landslide success ever since its debut, and cleaned up at the 2025 Emmy Awards.
Noah Wyle takes on the leading role on the series, and it is not his first time playing a medic, as he famously rose to fame on ER in the 90s.
His role as Dr Michael ‘Robby’ Robinavitch won him the award for Lead Actor in a Drama series both the Critics Choice Awards and the Emmys, 26 years after he last nabbed a nomination for ER.
The Pitt‘s debut season also won in the Outstanding Drama Series category at both prestigious awards ceremonies, in another major win for Noah, who served as executive producer.
In another huge success, Noah also took home Best Actor in a Drama TV Series at the Golden Globes, and paid tribute to his wife, Sara Wells, in his acceptance speech.
“I’ve been supported by my wife and three incredible children along the way,” he said. “To my beautiful wife, Sara, happy birthday. I hope you enjoy your party.”
Fans have been waiting for almost a year for the return of The Pitt, and thankfully, it’s finally here!
