8 Projects To Watch Featuring The Cast of The Pitt While You Wait for Season 2
Max’s new medical drama series, The Pitt concluded its first season last week after premiering on January 9. Already renewed for a second season, Max has announced that the series averaged over 10 million global viewers per episode. The Pitt is created by R. Scott Gemmill (JAG, ER) and stars ER alum Noah Wyle in the fast-paced series taking place during one shift at a Pittsburgh hospital.
The ensemble cast is made up of many actors new to the acting scene and many have been in other notable projects. While you wait for Season 2, here are 8 projects to watch that feature the cast of The Pitt (and no, we won’t include ER!)

Not unlike its now iconic true-crime predecessors, the addictive American Vandal will leave one question on everyone’s minds until the very end: Who drew the dicks?”
