Noah Wyle, Patrick Ball, Isa Briones & More Break Down Season 2 Premiere
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for The Pitt Season 2 premiere, “7:00 a.m.”]
Welcome back to The Pitt. Oh, how we’ve missed this outstanding, award-winning, critically acclaimed HBO Max medical drama, and it doesn’t miss a step in its Season 2 return. The series remains a solid, grounded, raw, and realistic depiction of the life of the doctors and nurses of an emergency department, led by Noah Wyle, who’s surrounded by mostly the same stellar cast with one notable addition in new series regular Sepideh Moafi, whose character Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi served as Robby’s replacement during his sabbatical.
In the Season 2 premiere, Robby’s none too pleased to find that it’s Langdon’s (Patrick Ball) first shift back after rehab; he’d hoped to miss it with his time off. So, who’s more of a thorn in his side this season, Langdon or Al-Hashimi? “Different thorns, different sides,” Noah Wyle tells us.
Langdon does try to talk to Robby, first about his sabbatical, then about what happened, but the latter brushes him off and sends him to triage.
“I think there was a hope that once I did my time, so to speak, once I went off and did the work, I would be able to come back and have a mature conversation and own my part in what went wrong,” Patrick Ball explains to us as part of our Post-Op: The Pitt Aftershow in the above video with the cast. “But I think a lot of things were said at the end of Season 1 that were said out of pain and were said out of desperation and injured this relationship in a very real way.”
