Five-time Emmy nominee Noah Wyle, no stranger to the world of medical dramas after 200+ episodes of ER, is confirmed to star and executive produce The Pitt. Max has given the medical drama a straight-to-series order, with season one expected to consist of 15 episodes.
Max’s announcement describes the series as a “realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today’s America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh.”
The series is an ER reunion of sorts, with Emmy nominee R. Scott Gemmill writing, executive producing, and guiding the series as showrunner. Additional executive producers include Emmy winner John Wells, Erin Jontow, Simran Baidwan, and Michael Hissrich.
“We are grateful to Warner Bros. Television and Max for giving us this opportunity to return to the world of urban medicine. The myriad of challenges facing the doctors, nurses, technicians, patients, and...

Married television writer/producers Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and Michael Hissrich have splashed out a mite more than $4.4 million, according to tax records, for a newly built home in one of the most coveted, leafy and family-oriented neighborhoods in L.A.’s ever-more popular and pricy Studio City community that nestles up against the foothills at the southern end of the San Fernando Valley.
Hollywood’s astronomically popular constellation of action-packed fantasy films and TV series has long been a bit of a boy’s club.

After 11 seasons of drinking, depravity and debauchery, fans showed up for Showtime’s last call for “Shameless,” the premium cabler’s longest-running series to date, this past Sunday. The final episode of the dramedy and 12th episode of Season 11, titled “Father Frank, Full of Grace,” drew a cross-platform total of 1.5Mm, up 41% versus the penultimate episode (1.1Mm) and 29% over the premiere (1.2Mm).
The 9 p.m. linear telecast on April 11 garnered 695,000 viewers, up 33% from the penultimate episode, and essentially tied with the season premiere’s telecast on Dec. 6, 2020 as the best telecast of the season.
As with all premium series, the bulk of viewing will be delivered across platforms on-demand, streaming and delayed viewing— so the numbers will likely increase once those metrics are factored in. Sunday’s projected on-demand and streaming number, 769,000, jumped by 61% from the penultimate episode and delivered a series high for the show.

No shame in these numbers: The series finale of “Shameless” drew 1.511 million total viewers across multiple platforms, according to Showtime. That’s a season high, 29% better than the Season 11 premiere (1.2 million viewers) and +41% from the comedy’s penultimate episode (1.1 million).
It is a shame, however, that the long-running show is over. The 11-season “Shameless” was Showtime’s most-watched and youngest-skewing comedy. When you factor both of those claims in, it makes sense that “Shameless” was Showtime’s most-streamed comedy series of all time.
Linearly, the 9 p.m. “Shameless” series finale telecast drew 695,000 TV viewers. The rest of the viewing came from streaming and on-demand.
Prior to the launch of Showtime’s over-the-top streaming platform in 2015 (so from 2011-2015), “Shameless” averaged 5.19 million total viewers per episode, according to the premium cable channel. But that giant number includes any and all episodic viewership while the season was in its first run. In other words,...
