As fans will recall, Robby got in a major fight with Langdon (Patrick Ball) over his drug use. The Pitt‘s second season will focus on the day that Langdon returns to the hospital after rehab. “Robby is going on a sabbatical tomorrow for three months on a motorcycle, and was really hoping not to see [Langdon] today—but something got screwed up in the scheduling, so they ended up overlapping,” Wyle explains. “Langdon has walked the penitent road and he has done everything he needs to do to keep his medical license in check. He’s going to face his colleagues who may or may not know that he had an addiction problem. All of that is very commendable. But there’s a personal betrayal that Robby feels that is going to be even harder for him to get up and over on the other side of.”
There are other teases in the VF piece, including the fact that Nurse Dana (Katherine LaNasa) will return to The Pitt despite her decision to quit at the end of the first season. Dr. Abbott (Shawn Hatosy) will also return, though he’s “coming back a little bit later than maybe you expect,” he tells the outlet. We’ll see more of the roommate relationship between Whitaker (Gerran Howell) and Santos (Isa Briones), plus meet new characters like the one played by Sepideh Moafi (Black Bird), who used to work at a Veteran’s Administration hospital just like Mel (Taylor Dearden).
“Will the show have enough dramatic engine and built-in aggregate tension—and will the characters be just as gripping as what we gave the audiences last year? I hope so,” Wyle says. “You can’t do a major catastrophe every season without it feeling like a hospital is not plotted in reality. Hopefully, it’s the characters, the interactions, the behaviors, the nobility—the quotidian detail of the show that people really responded to.”
