How it spread

Trace the origin

Max released The Pitt, then clinicians discussed its realism on TikTok and YouTube. US viewing rose through the first-season finale and after the Emmys. The main Wikipedia article’s seven-day views peaked around season two’s return in the observed window.

Observed peak within the documented measurement window; not an all-time maximum. Dates use the stated precision; chart positions are date anchors.
