If you don’t own aMaxsubscription and are curious to knowwhat all the fuss is aboutwhen it comes toThe Pitt, you’ll be happy to know that, just like happened with other shows, the platform has a plan to eventually release it on linear television. However, in an interview withVulture,Max CEOCasey Bloysrevealed that you will probably have to be very patient because there is a release strategy in place, but they are not aiming to put the hit show on other platforms any time soon.
During the interview, Bloys was pretty straightforward about how they approach the popularity of the platform’s titles and how they plan to increase every show’s popularity. InThe Pitt’s case,the show already has a linear TV release format, and viewers who would like to watch it without paying for a Max subscription will get their chance. Bloys indicated thatseeing Dr. Robby(Noah Wyle)on TNTis a matter of when and not if. He stated:
“I’m sure we will do that. It makes sense in the run-up to season two, for more exposure. You can look at it as a marketing play. But the thing you have to keep in mind is, before a new season of any of our shows comes on, we already see a lot of people come on to Max to catch up. We’re starting to see it with The Last of Us. When you do things like put a current show elsewhere, you are indicating that, ‘Oh, well, I can watch Max shows on TNT.’ I think it’s fine to do for marketing reasons as long as you don’t overdo it. You want people to know the place to get a current hit show is on Max. I tend to think the audiences on streaming and linear are sufficiently different, so it’s okay, but it’s something you have to have a conversation about.”
