Summary
- TNT to air medical drama 'The Pitt' unedited, including graphic imagery and nudity
- Goal is to respect the show's "core mission" of accurately depicting emergency department
- Series has won 5 Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series
In a move to preserve the authenticity of the medical drama "The Pitt," TNT has decided to air the series unedited, including its graphic imagery and nudity, when it premieres on the cable network next month. The decision aims to respect the show's "core mission" of accurately depicting "the realities of an emergency department."
The Warner Bros. Discovery-owned network acknowledges that the streaming series contains content that would typically not make it onto linear platforms. However, TNT believes the graphic scenes are "integral to the show's portrayal of the raw emotional toll that such work has on those who commit their lives to the medical profession."
To account for the mature content, TNT will include advisories at the beginning of each episode and following commercial breaks. The network is excited to bring the Emmy award-winning series to a wider audience, with the show's executive producer expressing gratitude for TNT's decision to air the series as it was initially shot and aired on HBO Max.
The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) has also expressed its appreciation for the cast and crew's commitment, noting that "The Pitt" offers a unique glimpse into the humanity of emergency care and the challenges faced by the nation's emergency physicians.
