Season 2 of ‘The Pit’ returns today and fans of the hit show are already feeling palpitations.
The procedural drama, starring Noah Wyle, Katherine LaNasa, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Patrick Ball, and others, first aired last January. By the end of the April finale, the show was a huge hit. Pitt has been nominated for 13 Emmy Awards and won five times, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Noah Wyle and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for LaNasa.
Now, the highly anticipated season 2 of the show is returning to HBO Max on January 8th. This promises more confusion, more drama, and more medical terminology for all of us to Google (and self-diagnose). Check out some of the behind-the-scenes moments cast members have shared on social media as the show returns.

Fiona Dourif played her father, Chucky’s famous voice actor Brad Dourif, in season 1. The father-daughter duo seemed very proud of each other.

We all know that a group hangout is incomplete without a selfie, so Patrick Ball posed for a quick photo with Jeran Howell and Shabana Aziz.

Although his character may not be the most lovable, it’s clear that Patrick Ball is everyone’s best friend.

it’s rap

Noah Wyle and Patrick Ball celebrated the end of Season 1 with a big hug. “This was a family. This was rock and roll. This was a bunch of kids playing in a sandbox telling stories. This was one in a million. I can’t believe it’s real,” Ball wrote in the caption.
“A special thank you to @therealnoahwyle, our fearless leader who not only made it all possible, but made it all magical.”

meet the press

Ball and LaNasa seemed to be in high spirits while promoting Season 2 in December. “The first press did a junket with a goat,” he wrote.

Of course, a press day isn’t like working in an emergency room, but judging by this post-junket image, it’s definitely no walk in the park.
