Watch the Series Premiere of The Pitt

ER star Noah Wyle is back on the front line in this pulse-pounding medical drama.

Quick take: Three decades after ER became the epitome of must-see TV, executive producer John Wells and actor Noah Wyle reunite for The Pitt, a radically innovative new hospital drama. Set over the course of a single 15-hour shift, the series follows emergency room veteran Dr. Robby (Wyle) as he guides a group of wide-eyed interns and med students through a grueling day at a packed Pittsburgh hospital. Along the way, Dr. Robby and his staff endure meltdowns, flatlines, and some shocking injuries.
