Dr. Robby Reveals Plans For Sabbatical As ED Welcomes New Badass Doctor
SPOILER ALERT: The following reveals major plot points for the Season 2 premiere of the HBO Max series The Pitt.
In the highly anticipated return of the smash hit series The Pitt with its second season, viewers are reunited tonight with the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center’s emergency department, led by Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch (Noah Wyle).
It’s been 10 months since the events of the show’s freshman season finale, and it’s the Fourth of July weekend, when anything and everything can and will happen. The episode titled “7:00 a.m.” opens with an outside shot of Dr. Robby on his motorcycle, looking carefree as the wind blows through his hair. Everything will change a few moments later, as soon as he’s back in the Pitt, the name of the emergency department, lovingly given to the hospital’s hot spot by the staff.
“We were looking to plot this 10 months into the future, so everybody could have had a little bit of time on the other side of that mass casualty event to absorb it. We wanted it to be on a busy holiday weekend. We wanted it to coincide with Dr. Langdon’s (Patrick Ball) return from having gone through drug and alcohol rehabilitation, which takes about 10 months,” Wyle told Deadline at the show’s junket in December.
He continued, “There are all sorts of creative accidents that happen on the Fourth of July. You’ve got fireworks, you’ve got motor sports, you’ve got water sports, you’ve got all sorts of stuff going on.”
Speaking of Frank Langdon, whom fans became acquainted with in Season 1 as a cocky and complicated doctor, is a far cry from that in the present day. In the premiere, he has been humbled, and there are amends to be made.
