Fans are getting their first look at Season 2 of the hit Emmy-nominated series “The Pitt,” where the crew will navigate the emergency room on July Fourth weekend. It will start streaming on HBO Max in January.

Season 2 will pick up 10 months after the final hour of Season 1, which concluded April 10. Showrunner R. Scott Gemmill hinted that Season 2 will take place over Fourth of July weekend during a day-long shift, which will likely see all kinds of ER patients.

Tracy Ifeachor, who played Dr. Heather Collins during season 1, won’t return for season 2, Warner Bros. Discovery confirmed to NJ.com in July. The show’s star, Noah Wyle (Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch), told Deadline that Ifeachor’s departure had nothing to do with the actress herself, but with the direction of season 2.

In the very first production pic from The Pitt Season 2, we saw Dr. Robby walking side-by-side with Ken Kirby’s scene-stealing Dr. Shen. The chill doctor caught fans’ attention by essentially just running on Dunkies throughout the horrifying Pitt Fest fallout.

HBO Max has released the first trailer for “ The Pitt ” Season 2, with returning stars Noah Wyle as Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch, Patrick Ball as Dr. Frank Langdon and more. The new season premieres in January.

The Pitt' dropped a first look teaser at season 2, which is set to premiere new episodes on HBO Max beginning in January 2026.
