‘The Pitt’ Creator Previews A Filming Nightmare Plotline in Season 2

The Pitt season 2 is racing toward its year-gap release date in January 2026, a true miracle for a show in 2025, much less one that spans 15 episodes rather than 6-8 like most others.

Now, we have a preview of what’s to come, and that’s more than just returning actors and new additions. The Pitt creator Scott R. Gemmill spoke at the Sublime Primetime Drama panel at the WGA about a very difficult storyline, not necessarily in terms of it being harrowing, but in terms of how hard it’s going to be to film.

There’s going to be a patient storyline involving an infant child, and while they may seem pretty basic for an ER visit, for filming, it’s going to be crazy. Some (very necessary) rules puts guardrails in place for this kind of thing. Here’s Gemmill:

“Some genius came up with an idea of what to do with a baby this year over 15 hours, That’s a whole season. You’ve got to use multiple babies. They can only work for 20 minutes … By the time the shift is over, which will be in January, this baby’s going to be walking to craft service by himself.”

“I’m going to go through many babies this year,” he said. “So if you know anyone who’s pregnant and they want to have their baby on TV, please come see us.”
