Inside the real Pittsburgh hospital behind HBO's 'The Pitt'

Season 2026 Episode 8 | 7m 47s

HBO’s medical drama “The Pitt” is back for season two, fresh off five Emmy wins. Its unflinching look at a single emergency room shift struck a deep chord with frontline healthcare workers. Geoff Bennett visited the actual “Pitt,” the real Pittsburgh hospital that doubles as a key location in the show, for our ongoing series on the intersection of arts and health, part of our CANVAS coverage.
