“The Pitt” is making headlines as it celebrated a significant win at the 2026 Golden Globes. The acclaimed medical drama, which recently premiered its second season on HBO Max, secured the prestigious award for Best Drama for its first season that aired in 2025.
During the event held on January 11, the cast and producers gathered to accept the award, with star Noah Wyle also taking home the accolade for Best Actor in a TV Drama. Producer R. Scott Gemmill expressed gratitude towards first responders and healthcare workers, emphasizing their inspirational role. “We live in a very divided country and a world right now, but I think cinema – and I call TV cinema too, I’m sorry – brings us all together,” he said, highlighting the importance of community and collaboration in storytelling.
Created by Gemmill and produced by John Wells, known for his work on “ER,” “Pitt” is set in a bustling Pittsburgh emergency department. The series unfolds in real-time over a single 15-hour shift each season, capturing the intense and fast-paced environment of hospital life.
This latest Golden Globe adds to the numerous accolades “Pitt” has received since its debut, including the Emmy Award for Best Drama and multiple wins at the Television Critics Association Awards last summer. The series has also been recognized by the American Film Institute as the program of the year. With its ongoing acclaim, further recognition at the upcoming Actor Awards in February is anticipated.
The second season of “The Pitt” premiered on January 8, featuring returning cast members such as Wyle, Katherine LaNasa, and Shawn Hatosy, while introducing Sepideh Moafi as a formidable new attending doctor. Gemmill noted that they specifically sought a character capable of challenging Wyle’s character, Robby, adding further complexity to the show’s dynamic.
New episodes of “The Pitt” are available for streaming on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO Max, capturing audiences with its gripping narratives and compelling performances. The show’s success not only entertains but also serves to unite viewers through shared stories that resonate in today’s world.
