"The Pitt" Is The Best New Show Of The Year, And Everyone Is Making The Same Jokes About It Because They Are 100% Accurate
There are a lot of TV shows out there right now, so it's hard to know exactly what to watch and when. So I am here to tell you if you are not watching The Pitt, you are missing out on the best new TV show of the year.
Created by R. Scott Gemmill, The Pitt follows a group of doctors working at a hospital in Pittsburgh. What makes this show special is each episode follows an hour of Dr. Robby's (Noah Wyle) 15-hour shift as the chief attendant in the trauma hospital's emergency room.
Of course, the series marks Wyle's return to TV with another medical drama 31 years after the premiere of ER and a reunion with Gemmill, who was a producer and writer on ER starting in Season 6.
Already, The Pitt is being praised for its authentic portrayal of what doctors, nurses, and more face in an ER at a hospital daily. Also, the structure of the show, with each episode being a single hour in the 15-hour shift, is setting it apart from other medical dramas on TV.
There are so many likable characters in the true ensemble series that it's hard not to become attached to every single one and be VERY, VERY stressed during every episode.

i'm really glad #thepitt is also keeping it clear how important the roles of other professionals are in the hospital/ED, such as kiara (social worker) and lupe (ward clerk), especially in the context of a mass casualty incident pic.twitter.com/H6YrH4Spty

Channing Dungey To Remain With Studios & Streaming Post-WBD Split; Few Executives With Dual Responsibilities Make For Clean Break
One of Warner Bros Discovery's top TV executives, Channing Dungey, who is Chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. Television Group and U.S. Networks, has found herself straddling the two sides of the company that will become separate entities next year: Streaming & Studios and Global Networks. Pre-empting speculation about her future, Dungey addressed the matter in an internal memo soon after the WBD split was announced Monday morning, sources tell Deadline. More from Deadline Warner Bros Discovery To Split Into Two Companies, Streaming & Studios And Global Networks WBD's David Zaslav, Gunnar Wiedenfels Break Down Split That Will See Standalone Companies 'Free And Clear' For M&A Warner Bros Discovery Initiates More Layoffs In Cable TV Divisions 'Warner Bros Television Group will become part of Streaming & Studios, and I'm thrilled that I will continue to have the privilege of leading WBTVG,' Dungey wrote in the memo, Deadline has learned. Dungey is the highest-profile TV executive with dual responsibilities across the studio and cable networks. One of her top lieutenants, WBTV veteran Brett Paul, is in a similar position in his role as President of WBTVG and Chief Operating Officer of U.S. Networks. There is no clarity on his future as of now, but sources indicate Paul would also likely stay with Studios & Streaming as the chief dealmaker for Warner Bros TV and a key member of Dungey's senior team. Unlike Comcast's spinoff of cable networks into Versant — a split from NBCUniversal that has to untangle decades of shared history and close ties — the WBD separation is a lot less complicated. Following Discovery's 2022 acquisition of WarnerMedia, all cable networks, including WarnerMedia's TNets, were put under Kathleen Finch, Chairman and CEO, U.S. Networks, in a unit that has functioned largely independently from Warner Bros TV, HBO and streamer HBO Max. It was not until Finch announced her retirement at the end of last year that the line between divisions was crossed, with Dungey taking over Finch's role and Paul adding COO for U.S. Networks to his duties of WBTVG President. There have been some joint programming initiatives since including a run of The Pitt, WBTV's drama series for Max, on TNT. It is unclear whether Dungey would get additional responsibilities as she continues in her role as Chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. Television Group post-split, which also is a question for Paul should he also remain in his WBTVG role as expected. Besides Dungey and Paul, there is little executive overlap between the two soon-to-be stand-alone divisions as most operations, including programming, finance, marketing and PR, have been kept separate. Suzanna Makkos, who served as head of Original Comedy & Animation at Max and Adult Swim, left in January to become head of comedy for ABC Entertainment and Hulu Originals. There is no longer a hybrid comedy role across both Max and Adult Swim, a block on Cartoon Network, which will be part of the Global Networks company. Also, David Leavy, longtime close confidant to WBD Discovery David Zaslav, recently departed as COO of CNN — another Global Networks brand — to return to parent WBD. That would allow him to continue to work for Zaslav, who has been named CEO of Studios & Streaming, with WBD CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels named CEO of Global Networks.

Taylor Sheridan Sets Action Thriller ‘F.A.S.T.', Starring Brandon Sklenar, at Warner Bros. (Exclusive)
It may have taken the slow route of almost a decade, but Taylor Sheridan's action thriller F.A.S.T. is finally on the, um, fast track. In a deal involving high-level talks between Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount, Sheridan has navigated a feature package that includes Brendon Sklenar, the star of the multi-hyphenate's hit 1923, and that series' main director and renowned cinematographer Ben Richardson, to land at Warners. More from The Hollywood Reporter Streaming Ratings: 'The Pitt' Hits High Mark With Season Finale Dwayne Johnson, Joe Ballarini Get 'Ripped' for 20th Century Studios (Exclusive) Harrison Ford Is Open to Continuing in 'Yellowstone' Universe After '1923' And how fast is F.A.S.T. moving? Warners has set an April 23, 2027 theatrical release date. Sklenar, who also starred in last year's It Ends with Us and the recent suspense movie Drop, will headline the action thriller with Richardson, who worked on The Fault in Our Stars and Beasts of the Southern Wild as DP, making his feature directorial debut. David Heyman and Jeffrey Clifford of Heyday Films will produce the project with Sheridan and Jenny Wood of Bosque Ranch Productions in negotiations to join them. 'The breadth of Taylor Sheridan's body of work is simply astounding and unparalleled in sheer excellence and consistent quality and we could not be more honored to be making this film with him,' Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group's Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy said in a statement. 'With the hugely talent director Ben Richardson behind the camera and the exceptional producing talents of Heyday Films and Bosque Ranch, we are thrilled to have such an incredible creative team bringing F.A.S.T. to the big screen.' The coming together of the F.A.S.T. deal in one way encapsulates the shifting vagaries of the theatrical and streaming movie business. And it also exposes the tricky nature of navigating inter-studio relations. F.A.S.T. concerns a former special forces commando, down on his luck after he returns Stateside, who is tapped by the DEA to lead a black op strike team against CIA-protected drug dealers in his town. Sheridan wrote the script in the mid-2010s, when he was an established feature scribe with movies such as Sicario and Hell or High Water Under his belt. Warners, then owned by Time Warner, picked it up in 2018, with Sheridan initially signaling he wanted to direct and Chris Pratt circling to star. Gavin O'Connor later came on board as director in 2019, but by then, the studio was owned by AT&T, which didn't see a financial upside of releasing a movie with the budget in the $60 million to $70 million range theatrically. It was also, however, thought as too expensive to make as a streaming movie for its then-launching streaming service HBO Max. This was against a backdrop of a pandemic that was savaging the moviegoing experience and a streaming war that had gripped studios with the hallucinatory idea that streaming was the only future coming. Warners thus put F.A.S.T. into turnaround (only to have Amazon briefly flirt with it). Now, a project that was once a Warners theatrical feature with a Marvel star that almost morphed into streaming feature, was reacquired by Warners, now part of Warner Bros. Discovery and back in the theatrical game. But studios and movie releasing aren't the only things that have changed. Sheridan's lot in Hollywood has changed plenty as well. He created modern western Yellowstone for the Paramount Network in 2018, and it quickly became the most watched series on cable — a title it hasn't relinquished. Soon, Yellowstone spinoffs such as 1883 and 1923 sprouted on Paramount+, becoming a major draw for the service. Sheridan grew to one of the biggest showrunners in Hollywood, scorching his brand on Paramount+ with shows Tulsa King, Lioness, and Landman, among others. 'Taylor at this stage is Paramount+,' says one insider. The showrunner also has a strict exclusive deal with Paramount, which initially made moving forward on F.A.S.T. with Sheridan a non-starter — Until WBD head David Zaslav made it a priority. Sources say that dealmaking is still being finalized to give Sheridan a carve out from his Paramount pact to render screenwriting and producorial duties. That wrinkle is making the setting of a budget for F.A.S.T. a tricky proposition, as Warners wants to settle Sheridan's producorial involvement first, according to sources. It will likely be considerably less than the $65 million or so from over a decade ago, when it was initially judged to be too high for a theatrical release. F.A.S.T. will be overseen by Warner Bros. Pictures president of production Jesse Ehrman and exec vp of production Kevin McCormick. Sheridan is repped by CAA, LBI Entertainment, and Meyer & Downs. Sklenar is repped by WME, Neon Kite, and Goodman Genow while Richardson is repped by CAA.
