Los Angeles Times: The Pitt 25 Emmys

Noah Wyle used a Los Angeles Times interview published Wednesday, Aug. 6, to talk about the next season of “The Pitt” while the HBO Max medical drama continues its Emmy run. The Times said production on Season 3 is underway and framed the conversation around the show’s 25 Emmy nominations, the highest total in this year’s field. July 8 was when the nominations were announced, and multiple outlets reported that “The Pitt” led all programs with 25 nods. Wyle was among the nominees tied to the show’s awards push, according to coverage of the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards. ### Why was Wyle talking about Season 3 now? The Los Angeles Times said Aug. 6 that Wyle appeared on its “Envelope” podcast while new episodes were already in production. (latimes.com) The paper described the interview as a look at what comes next for the series, alongside Wyle’s reaction to the nomination haul. (cbsnews.com) Variety reported in late July that Wyle had also been discussing fan reaction, Hollywood and what is coming in Season 3 on the awards circuit. That made the Times interview part of a broader press stretch as the show moves through Emmy season and active production at the same time. ### What does the 25-nomination total tell us? (latimes.com) The 25 nominations made “The Pitt” the top Emmy nominee of 2026, according to reports published after the Television Academy announcement. CBS News and Yahoo’s entertainment coverage both placed the series at the top of the field, ahead of other major contenders. The Los Angeles Times referred to the total again in its Aug. 6 item, using the nomination count as the backdrop for Wyle’s comments about the show’s future. (variety.com) The paper said the podcast covered the nominations, casting criticism and Season 3. ### What did the Times say Wyle addressed in the interview? (cbsnews.com) The Times summary said Wyle responded to criticism of casting decisions and previewed the third season of the HBO Max drama. The article teaser did not spell out every point in the search snippet, but it identified those two subjects as central to the conversation. A separate July report carried by Yahoo from an earlier interview said Wyle had described Season 3 as markedly different from prior installments and said production had begun in June. (latimes.com) That report also pointed to a larger shift in the story’s setup for the coming season. ### Where does this leave the show in the Emmy race? (latimes.com) The 78th Primetime Emmy Awards are scheduled for Monday, Sept. 14, according to awards coverage cited in the source briefing. “The Pitt” enters that ceremony as the most-nominated program after the July 8 announcement. Sept. 14 is the next fixed date for the series in public view, while Season 3 continues production. (yahoo.com) The Los Angeles Times’ Aug. 6 interview and podcast episode are the latest published markers of that campaign. (latimes.com) (cbsnews.com)
