Warning: SPOILERS ahead for The Pitt episode 7!The Pittstar Noah Wyle has carefully teased new episodes that will “redefine the show,” asking viewers not to assume too much about what’s to come. The 15-episode medical drama focuses on Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch (Wyle) and his fellow doctors at the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital, each episode highlighting one real-time hour of their shift. Thecharacters inThe Pittdeal with realistic medical cases, the series earning various critical praise for its accuracy to real trauma centers. Its unique, hour-by-hour presentation has also helped it stand out among other dramas in the genre.
Speaking withTVLine, however, Wyle teased this is just the start, withnew episodes ofThe Pittpoised to “redefine the show” in the near future. The star explained that the final five episodes would provide a new outlook on the series, urging viewers to keep watching to see how the show is going to evolve. Check out what Wyle had to say below:
The last five episodes of the show kind of, in some ways, redefine the show. So I advise you not to make too many assumptions, and to stay on this ride until the end.
What Wyle’s Tease Means For The Pitt’s Future Storylines
The Episode Count Already Hints At A Major Shift
The Pittepisode 7has already established a potential long-term problem at the trauma center,with Dr. Collins (Tracy Ifeachor) seemingly having a miscarriage in its cliffhanger ending. While this moment signals a major change for her character going into the back half of the season, Wyle’s specifications for the last five episodes means something else is lurking on the horizon. This could be anything from another important character suffering an even more life-threatening medical emergency, to a crisis that puts all hands on deck.
The Pitt Episode 3’s Worst Decision Feels Like A Dark Disaster In The Making
The Pitt has one storyline that could become a massive disaster, and Dr. Robby made a decision in episode 3 that might have made it even worse.
The show’s episode count already hints at something big happening near the end of Robby’s shift.A typical trauma center shift is 12 hours, but the show’s 15 episodes mean its lead will be stuck there for an extra three hours. Although it’s currently unclear why,The Pitt’s medical realismmeans that whatever emergency crops up will stay true to what a real trauma center sometimes has to deal with. As for the show taking on a new identity, the main character’s trauma could become even more central depending on what happens next.
Our Take On How The Pitt’s Future Episodes “Redefine The Show”
The Story Might Take A Heartbreaking Direction
So far,The Pitthas introduced two storylines that could result in big changes for the story, those beingDr. Collins' miscarriage and disturbed teenager David still being unaccounted for.Either of these could result in events that add hours to Robby’s shift, both of which have a personal enough connection for his trauma to start impacting him even more depending on what happens. With season 1 half done already, it’s just a few weeks until what Wyle is hinting at becomes clearer.
