In addition to writing, executive producing and leading "The Pitt," Noah Wyle will step behind the camera and direct the sixth episode of Season 2.
"We are just about finished with episode five. We start episode six on Tuesday," Wyle said during a panel for the show on Saturday as part of the inaugural Televerse 2025 festival. "I feel prepped, which is what you want to feel. This has been such an amazing experience for me, all the way down the line."

Wyle has previously directed on "Leverage: Redemption," "The Librarians," and "Fallen Skies."
The panel also featured Katherine LaNasa (Dana Evans), Shawn Hatosy (Dr. Jack Abbot), Patrick Ball (Dr. Frank Langdon), Taylor Dearden (Dr. Mel King), Supriya Ganesh (Dr. Samira Mohan), Fiona Dourif (Dr. Cassie McKay), Isa Briones (Dr. Trinity Santos), Gerran Howell (Dennis Whitaker) and Shabana Azeez (Victoria Javadi).
"The Pitt" landed 13 Emmy nominations for its first season, with Wyle nominated both as a producer and lead actor. As recently revealed to Variety, the current healthcare changes will be part of the upcoming season.
"Before we even start to write, we're conducting interviews with all sorts of people from every sector and vector of healthcare, and they tell us what they're up against. They tell us what they would love to see on TV, and they tell us what would really be counterproductive to what they're trying to do if we put it on TV," he said on the panel. "We dictate our storylines from there; it starts with people that are in the field and asking them to see what they're seeing and how they're reacting to it. It's a little bit more difficult to see 10 months in the future than it was last year, because events are changing so quickly on the ground right now, you don't really know what the world's gonna look like in 12 months, but there are worst-case scenario models."
Dearden, whose character had a storyline around vaccinations in Season 1, added that "it's insane" what's happening right now with people in charge making laws without medical professionals: "It comes up because how could it not?"
