10 TV Shows To Watch if You Love 'The Pitt'

Medical dramas may be popular, but they can also be formulaic—which is why it didn't take long for The Pitt to grab the attention of critics, audiences and even medical professionals. The acclaimed medical drama quickly set itself apart from other similar shows and became one of the most buzzed-about new shows of the season, thanks to its unique premise. Each episode covers approximately one hour of a 15-hour shift in a fictional Pittsburgh hospital and follows Dr. Robinavitch, or Dr. Robby, the chief attending physician of the ER, played by Noah Wyle. While a typical medical drama’s hour-long runtime covering hours or even days means storylines can be rushed, the approach The Pitt takes is closer to reality. The series is from the same creative team who created ER. The Pitt streams on Max, and Season 2 is expected to be released in early 2026 and will be set over the Fourth of July weekend.
