The cast and crew of "The Pitt" have returned to Pittsburgh to film the second season of the acclaimed show, just days after their success at the Emmy Awards.The stars flew into Pittsburgh right after the Emmys to get to work shooting at Allegheny General Hospital. The show took home five awards on Sunday night, including Outstanding Drama Series, and Noah Wyle, who plays Dr. Robby, received his Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series."My daughter cleared off space on our mantle, and then she went to sleep, and I came home, and I put both of them on the mantel, and she woke up, and she came in the bedroom the next morning, she said, 'Dad, what happened?' And I said, go down and see. She went downstairs, and I could hear her say, 'You got two,'" Wyle said.In his first interview since the win, Wyle praised Pittsburgh and its contribution to the show. "It just seemed like a really great city and a quintessentially American city. The more detail that we put into the show that makes it feel more Pittsburgh-specific, I feel, makes it more relatable to people that aren't from Pittsburgh because everybody has a Primantis sandwich, everybody's got an Iron City beer in their town. And the more specific you can identify it to this place, the more people can feel like it's their place as well," he said.Filming locations include the hospital’s LifeFlight helipad, a rooftop which provides scenic views of the city, and various entryways to the facility. Part of the hospital was transformed, with Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center signs on the front doors. Patrick Ball, who plays Dr. Frank Langdon, is also back for season two and shared his preparation for the role. "I really just watched a lot of Mike Tomlin interviews, and, yeah. And just watched the Aaron Rodgers highlights, pretty much," Ball said.The show is praised for its realistic depiction of the challenges health care workers face. Dr. Brent Rau, the real-life Dr. Robby at Allegheny General Hospital, where part of the show is filmed, commended its accuracy. "The whole show does a remarkable job of just showing what health care workers go through every day. In the emergency department and outside of the emergency department, as well as with our paramedic colleagues and nurses, physicians, all the staff involved," Rau said.As for season two, viewers can expect another intense 15 hours set on the Fourth of July. "There'll be more fireworks than just over the roof," the show teased. Season two of "The Pitt" will be back in January 2026.
