The cast and creator of the hit medical drama series, The Pitt, are ready to take on season 2. During a panel at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, Calif., moderated by journalist Emily Longeretta, the actors shared their thoughts on the pressures of season 2 after the success of the show's debut.

Series creator R. Scott Gemmill admitted that after the success of the show's debut, "You don't want the sophomore curse." He added, "We were unusual in our first season in the sense that we shot, we had been shooting before the show aired, so we were just having this little fun in our little bubble over on stage, and we had no idea if anyone was even going to watch the show. And then it became so much more than what we expected. And so now it's like, 'Oh, okay. Now everyone's looking.' Sometimes it's better to be under the radar."

Noah Wyle, who leads the show as Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, said the pressure of season 1's success is a "good thing to be mindful of" while making new episodes. However, he noted it is "really something you have to shut out completely."

"You have to almost have it be a non-factor and create the same sense of privacy and same sense of hermetic sealed off, insulated sense of company that we built the first year. I think if we're successful in that regard, then the storytelling will just roll out," the Librarians actor, 53, said.

Wyle said what he and his colleagues managed to make was special because it "was more than the scripts or more than the cast or more than the directors." He added, "that had an exponential effect where everybody came wanting to do even better the next day."

Wyle continued, "So one plus one equaled three every day and it made it a pleasure to be there. That is lightning in a bottle. That's something you can't plan for, you can only pray for and it works. And I think with this collective group, we could make it happen again, overjoyed that we get to."

The Pitt follows a group of healthcare workers on the frontlines in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh, Pa. Earlier in the conversation, the E.R. alum shared another reason why he believed the series stands out from other medical dramas.

"We all went through something pretty significant in 2020, and it's almost like that's the line of demarcation. There's before COVID and after COVID, and we told a really great story about healthcare in America before COVID, but there was no story about America post-COVID yet," Wyle said.

Actors Katherine LaNasa, Isa Briones, Fiona Dourif, Shabana Azeez, Tracy Ifeachor, and Gerran Howell were also at the panel, along with producer John Wells.
