The cast and creators of the new hit max series The Pitt spoke at a recent press conference at Warner Bros.
“Extra” Melvin Robert moderated the panel, which included executive producer and director John Wells, executive producer and star Noah Weill, and creator, showrunner and executive producer R. Scott Gemmill.
They also joined the series regulars Gerran Howell, Taylor Dearden, Supriya Ganesh, Patrick Ball, Katherine Lanasa, Fiona Dourif, Isa Briones and Shabana Azeez.
Melvin, the cast and crew discussed how realistic the show is and how much praise it is by many in the medical community. “The Pitt” is different from other medical dramas. Because none of the characters go home, everything happens in one day in the ER.

Gemmill said, “When you go to the ER, you don’t know those doctors. And the fact about ER doctors is that they don’t follow up with the patients… they’re moving on to the next case. So I think that’s what I’m talking about in that reality too. And it’s about how you communicate the character’s storyline over 15 hours when you only have 15 hours to know them. There is a challenge.”
Melvin said, “I observed it and experienced it when I was turning my back. The way you created this story. What you think you could do if you were on traditional broadcast television. Because there is.
Wells commented: Cumulatively, you realize that this is what they’re doing. We are showing you exactly. We are trying to make you feel right on someone else’s shoulder. It’s a vehicle version, but there are emergency room personnel. ”

He said, “And I think what we’re trying to do is get more general respect. You’ve been sitting in the emergency room waiting room for eight hours and you’re still there. Why can’t this be good, like when you don’t understand? This is what these people are getting back there. We’re trying to give you that feeling. You can also view the steps so you can do it on streaming. Among them there are a huge amount of medical nudes, but none of them are wise. But here are these very traumatic There are these people who are dealing with experiences all day… They are truly heroes, what they do every day, and the difference they make to our lives.”
The question asked by the press in attendance was, “Where do you get your ideas for a medical emergency?”
Weil “The show has a secret weapon named Dr. Joe Sachs, the technical advisor, producer and writer for our show, who is still practicing, and he has been able to make it his ticklish trunk and Go into what you call and bring out the case and really great ideas. And he’s never dry out.”

well He continued, “And then there are three other doctors spinning on set full time. And I don’t know what it is now, eight full-time nursing professional nurses are always there. Are you in it? So we get a lot of input from the medical community and make sure that we really make the experience authentic.’
John also spoke about bringing the production back to Los Angeles as “Pit” is being filmed in Burbank, WB Lot.
“We need an organization,” he said. “The show is designed to shoot in a single stage, so it can make the show more efficient. But it’s also a great production group. There’s a great crew in Los Angeles. California’s. There is some support from the film initiative, credits, which helps, but mainly because it is well written and well managed. And the aspirations for the show are not the buildings of the world, It’s not the scale of what’s on human scale, and that’s a big part of what forced shows they gave elsewhere.”
He added: “I think there need to be more shows coming back to Los Angeles. We have a great, great crew. It’s very possible to do that efficiently, and we’ve got more attention to more human stories. You need to go back to it.”
“The Pitt” is currently streaming on Max.
