Isa Briones Dives Deep on Season Two of ‘The Pitt’

When the first season of “The Pitt” came out last January, Isa Briones and the rest of the cast had no idea what to expect. 

“We knew it was good. We were aware of ‘OK, we’re making something very good,’ but sometimes that doesn’t mean anything,” Briones says. “And there are plenty of good shows out there that don’t get watched and it’s because of so many different factors. But this really connected with people, which is amazing.”

The show was picked up for a second season, which they were in the midst of filming when the 2025 Emmys took place — and the show cleaned up, taking home the prize for Outstanding Drama series, as well as acting awards for Noah Wyle and Katherine LaNasa.

“You kind of never get a chance to sit in it without being in it, which I think is kind of good because then you can’t really focus too much on the exterior,” Briones says. “As amazing as awards are, you can’t base all of your worth on it because you’re just like, ‘I’m still working. I need to do the thing.’ And I think it makes for a better environment for us to just keep doing the work and not think necessarily about the things that could make you be a little more superficially anxious, a little more like, ‘Oh, I hope they like me.’ Just do the thing.”

The series has just begun airing its second season, and on Sunday it was awarded Golden Globes for Best Television Series Drama and Best Actor in a Television Series Drama, again to Wyle. The cast is still filming the rest of the second season, even as the first couple of episodes arrive. 

Briones has become a fan favorite as Dr. Trinity Santos, who viewers meet in Season One as a rather abrasive and confident intern and find now in Season Two in her second year of residency.
