Noah Wyle has found himself in hot water with the widow of ER creator Michael Crichton, who says his HBO show The Pitt is too similar to her late husband’s medical drama – but who is his wife Sara? Noah Wyle feels “profoundly sad and disappointed” that ER creator Michael Crichton’s estate is suing him and others over their HBO show The Pitt , claiming that it “bears too close a resemblance to the long-running medical drama”, per People magazine. In August 2024, months before The Pitt premiered on HBO Max, Crichton’s widow Sherri Crichton sued Wyle, The Pitt creator R. Scott Gemmill, executive producer John Wells and Warner Bros Television over breach of contract, per the outlet.
Advertisement “The only thing that I can legally speak to is how I feel emotionally, which is just profoundly sad and disappointed,” Wyle told Variety. “This taints the legacy, and it shouldn’t have. At one point, this could have been a partnership.
And when it wasn’t a partnership, it didn’t need to turn acrimonious. But on the 30th anniversary of ER , I’ve never felt less celebratory of that achievement than I do this year.” Wyle, 53, is a producer and actor in The Pitt .
He starred in ER over 15 years ago. An ER reboot had been on the cards, but it didn’t work out as Warner Bros couldn’t come to an agreement with Sherri over it. “We pivoted as far in the opposite direction as we could in order to tell the story we wanted to tell,” Wyle told Variety.
“And not for litigious reasons, but because we didn’t want to retread our own creative work.” {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"ImageObject","caption":"Noah Wyle began dating Sara Wyle née Wells in 2011.
