‘The Pitt’s Battle With Michael Crichton Estate Heading To Trial As Warner Bros Rebuffed By Appeal Court
The Pitt is deep into production for its upcoming third season, but the Noah Wylie starring Emmy winning drama will have to scrub up for court next year too.
AI Summary
The Pitt is in production for its third season while also preparing for a court appearance next year. Two months after arguments were heard, an appeal court panel upheld a lower court ruling in the lawsuit between the show’s producers and the Michael Crichton Estate. The case concerns whether the HBO Max series is derivative of the television drama ER. The ruling means the dispute will proceed to a jury trial in Los Angeles, with The Pitt and Skydance‑owned Warner Bros. as the parties involved.
