There will be more drama at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital when Max’sThe Pittdebuts its second season sometime in the future. While Season 1 is just over halfway completed, starNoah Wylehas shed some light on what could be expected from Dr. Robby and the rest of the emergency room team in Season 2, and how the recently filmed finale of Season 1 could set up the rest of the show.
“We left the window open for Season 2 [before getting renewed] because creatively, we all feel like there’s a lot more gas in this tank,” Wyle told theAV Clubin a recent interview. When speaking of thestill-to-come finale of Season 1, he said, “The last third is like a different show. So don’t make any assumptions and be prepared for where the ride will take you. I’m really, really proud of it. [Executive producer]John Wellsdirected the first one and he directed the last one. I think it’s a very elegant ending.” When askedabout Season 2, Wyle added:
“If we kept with a 15-episode structure, there’s something really hand in glove with having it mirror a work day or a work night. I think for dramatic purposes, it’s more interesting to plot the course a little downstream so there’s a dark period that people don’t know what happened and we can play with that. This was a very impactful day. I don’t know that anybody’s going to have any more perspective the next day than they did on this day. I think we all need a little distance from it.”
