The first 14 episodes of “The Pitt” are averaging 10 million viewers.
Measured by Warner Bros. Discovery, this total accounts for the worldwide average number of people who have watched the medical drama to date, including delayed viewing — not the number of people who watched each episode on the day it premiered.
WBD also reports that the first episode has now crossed 16.2 million viewers. And though no data has been made available about any other episode’s individual audience, the company says “The Pitt” has achieved 13 consecutive weeks of growth, with each episode’s night-of total outperforming the one before it. That includes the Season 1 finale, which was released on Max on Thursday.
It’s unusual for WBD to share viewership information about one of its streaming-only shows, typically only reporting on titles that also air on HBO’s linear channel, such as “The White Lotus” and “The Last of Us.” However, along with this season average, Variety‘s recent cover story on “The Pitt” star Noah Wyle notes that the company says the series is among the top three most-watched Max titles ever. See Variety‘s interviews with Wyle and two executive producers about the finale here (spoilers ahead).
“The Pitt” has already been renewed for a second season. The series, which follows a team of healthcare workers at a hospital in Pittsburgh, is produced by John Wells Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. Executive producers include R. Scott Gemmill, Noah Wyle, John Wells, JWP’s Erin Jontow, Simran Baidwan and Michael Hissrich.
