Following the success of The Pitt, HBO Max isn't in any rush to franchise the hit medical drama series with spinoffs just yet.

While touting The Pitt‘s 13 nominations on Tuesday, Noah Wyle gave a hint about what to expect in season 2 of the HBO Max medical drama. In April, executive producer R. Scott Gemmill, EP John Wells and EP/star Wyle appeared at Deadline's Contenders TV in April and shared that the next 15 hours of The Pitt will take place over

There will be no Dr. Collins in Season 2 of The Pitt. Tracy Ifeachor, who portrayed the character in Season 1, won't be returning for Season 2.

The actress, 40, isn’t returning as Dr. Heather Collins for Season 2 of the hit HBO Max show, “The Pitt.” Sources told TVLine that it was a creative decision, and not Ifeachor’s choice to leave the medical drama. On Wednesday, the British star hinted at her departure.

The excitement of Emmy nomination morning fades quickly for studios and networks, because the more daunting question is always the same: How do we actually win? It’s tempting to judge frontrunners based on sheer nomination tallies.

The actress who portrayed Dr. Collins in Season 1 announced last week that she would not be returning to the HBO Max drama but said “what a blessing” to participate. She called it an “absolute privilege to play Dr. Heather Collins in such a groundbreaking season and piece.”

Tracy Ifeachor is the only star of HBO Max’s “The Pitt” who won’t be returning for season 2, and fans have questions about her exit. After some viewers guessed that Ifeacher, who played Dr. Heather Collins on the medical drama, may have been fired, “The Pitt” star Noah Wyle (Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch) set the record straight.
