The Pitt Season 2: Everything We Know
Season one of Max hit The Pitt releases its final episode on April 10, but fans can relax: the show has already been renewed for season two. The show premiered in January and has catalogued every hour in a very dramatic shift at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital. Each episode has followed Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch, played by ER’s Noah Wyle, the nurses, residents, interns, security, and admin as they navigate a hectic work day that soon takes a serious turn for the worse.
In February, the network announced the renewal.
“It’s been a thrill to watch audiences embrace The Pitt as an update to procedural storytelling with a cast who authentically embody the heroics of doctors and nurses on shift in a 2025 emergency room,” Sarah Aubrey, head of Max Original Programming, told Variety. “Our collaboration with John Wells, R. Scott Gemmill, Noah Wyle and Warner Bros. Television has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and we are excited to continue down this path with another season.”
Gemmill, Wells, and Wyle responded to the news with a joint statement, saying, “We’re excited and delighted with the audience response for our first season of The Pitt and can’t be more appreciative of our partners at Max and Warner Bros Television for all of their extraordinary support throughout our first season.”
Here’s everything we know about The Pitt season two so far.
When will season 2 of The Pitt be released?
In an interview with Vulture in March, Max CEO Casey Bloys shared, “[T]he second season will premiere in January of 2026, a year later [than Season 1]. This model of more episodes cuts down on the gap between seasons. On the platform, we have shows like House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, and White Lotus, which, because of how they’re made, can take two years to make. What I love about something like The Pitt is, I can get 15 episodes in a year. That’s a really great addition to what we’re already doing on the platform. And I’d like to do more shows in this model.”
What will season 2 of The Pitt be about?
Until the finale, it’s hard to say where the end of season one will leave the characters. The second season will undoubtedly deal with the repercussions of how the finale goes, but the penultimate episode shows the hospital staff struggling to save lives amidst both a mass shooting and a measles outbreak. There could potentially be a time jump to another ER shift at any point that year or beyond.
Who is in the cast of season 2 of The Pitt?
Noah Wyle will be returning as Dr. Robby, and will likely be joined by season one’s cast: Tracey Ifeachor, Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa, Supriya Ganesh, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell, and Shabana Azeez.
