- On March 5, Shawn Hatosy directed The Pitt, Season 2 Episode 9 while also appearing as Dr. Abbot, starting directing just days after the series won best drama Emmy.

- Hatosy used cluttered production design elements and FaceTime/iPhone/iPad coverage techniques to depict a different chaos than the PittFest mass casualty.
