‘The Pitt’ Stars Noah Wyle and Katherine LaNasa Tease ‘Grotesque’ Season 2 Storylines: ‘Our Prosthetics Team Has Been Working Overtime’

When Noah Wyle and Katherine LaNasa were at the USC Rape Treatment Center they talked to Variety about what to expect when going into season two:

The cast and creatives of “The Pitt” are teasing Season 2.

Star and executive producer Noah Wyle tells me that they’ve completed filming 10 of the season’s 15 episodes. “I’m really proud of the season,” Wyle, who won an Emmy for his portrayal of Dr. Robby, told me Sunday at The Rape Treatment Center and Stuart House annual brunch at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. “We’ve obviously set a very hard bar for ourselves. We’re competing with our own shadow now.”

On the pressure to live up to the success of Season 1, Wyle said, “I feel it in the sense that the show became a popular show and then I felt like it became almost a lighthouse show where people were tuning in to have a sense of their humanity reaffirmed and to remember that there are still people out there in these jobs that are selflessly dedicated to picking up our broken pieces.”

Season 2 takes place over July 4th weekend. “Our prosthetics team has been working overtime,” Wyle said. “You’re in for some treats. It’s Fourth of July weekend – Americans hurt themselves in all sorts of ways.”

Katherina LaNasa, who won an Emmy for her work as Nurse Dana, said just reading the scripts could prove difficult. “A lot of it is super disgusting, disturbing [and] heartbreaking.”

She continued, “Sometimes they are really sad experiences that you’ve been through in your own life, like with death and things like that that are really painful, and then other ones that are just shockingly grotesque and really difficult even to read about.”

Wyle also said there are no celebrity guest stars making appearances in Season 2. “We’re not a really stunty show that way, but everybody that comes on is so great,” he said. “Cathy Sandrich won the Emmy for casting this year and rightly so. Everybody she’s brought onto our show has hit the ground running, and you know, it’s no longer a sort of speculative venture. Everybody that comes on knows what they’re coming on to, and they’ve all hit the ground running.”
