Noah Wyle and ER duo John Wells and R. Scott Gemmill are teaming up for a new medical drama called The Pitt, which has received a 15-episode straight-to-series order from Max. The series will focus on front-line medical workers in a modern-day Pittsburgh hospital and aims to provide a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today's America. Gemmill, who served as an executive producer on ER, will also be the showrunner for The Pitt. The show is part of Wells' overall deal with Warner Bros. TV, and it marks a return to the world of urban medicine for the team.
