the pitt coming to tnt
Great news that had been announced!! The Pitt will be coming to TNT December 1st!!! As Season one will be airing there along with HBO MAX. No fret, the second season will still be airing on HBO Max in January an episode a week!! Here is some more information from Variety:
“The Pitt” will not be sanitized for your protection. As Season 1 of the critically acclaimed, Emmy-winning HBO Max medical drama gets a basic cable run via TNT next month, no edits will be made to the intense, sometimes raw streaming version.
That means all of the show’s “graphic medical imagery,” including nudity, will remain intact and be seen on TNT as the show makes its linear premiere on Monday, Dec. 1, at 9 p.m. ET.
In a press release, TNT noted that the decision not to edit “The Pitt” for linear TV was in line with the show’s “core mission to accurately depict the realities of an emergency department.” Those “graphic medical imagery” scenes, including the depiction of a birth in Episode 11, “are integral to the show’s portrayal of the raw emotional toll that such work has on those who commit their lives to the medical profession,” the cabler said.
Acknowledging that such imagery is normally edited out from acquired fare on linear commercial TV, TNT said it would “include advisories at the top of each episode and coming out of commercial breaks.” There are no rules preventing TNT from airing the episodes uncut; as a cable network, TNT is not subject to the same content standards that the FCC requires of over-the-air broadcast TV outlets.
The full 15-episode Season 1 of “The Pitt,” which comes from John Wells Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, will air three back-to-back episodes a week on TNT from Dec. 1 to Dec. 29.
Channing Dungey, chairman and CEO of the Warner Bros. Television Group and US Networks, announced at the Warner Bros. Discovery upfront presentation in May that “The Pitt” would get a linear run on TNT this fall. The idea is to expose the show to new viewers who perhaps haven’t caught it yet on streaming, and also use the linear run as a bit of a marketing lead-up to the January premiere of Season 2 on HBO Max.
