Saw them be named as two of the hottest men of 2026 and I can't help but giggle because in my head, they can perfectly play brothers in a rom-com with David Corenswet as the third sibling. (I'm manifesting something okay, don't come for me)

An appeals court ruled that “The Pitt” is similar enough to “ER” to allow Michael Crichton’s widow to pursue a lawsuit over the Emmy-winning show.
The appeals court did dismiss a claim against key creators of the show — Noah Wyle, John Wells and R. Scott Gemmill — finding no evidence that they were aware they could be violating Crichton’s contractual rights.
“There are clear and numerous similarities between ‘The Pitt’ and ‘ER,” the court ruled, citing the emergency room setting, the fast pace, the medical jargon, the graphic depictions of injuries, and a young, incompetent doctor fresh from medical school. “We find the details here suffice for a prima facie case.”

The lawsuit isn’t based solely on similarities between the shows. The Pitt emerged after negotiations for an ER revival fell apart, which would have seen Noah Wyle reprise his role as Dr. John Carter.
