The streamer plans to release a new season each year. Like season 1, the 15-episode season will unfold across a single 15-hour shift — this one set during the Fourth of July weekend.

This is a recap of the Season 1 finale of The Pitt, which aired Thursday night. Spoilers for that episode obviously abound. It's finally time for the day shift to go home.

NBCU Photo Bank Wyle starred as Dr. John Carter on ER from season 1 in 1994 to season 11, which ended in 2005. He also returned for the show’s final, 15th season, which aired from 2008 to 2009.

All 15 episodes of The Pitt season 1 are currently streaming on Max. Sign up for Entertainment Weekly's free daily newsletter to get breaking TV news, exclusive first looks, recaps, reviews ...
