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.

Along with a look at the show, the teaser also confirmed that The Pitt season 2 will release on Max in January 2026.

Strong vital signs resulted in a swift Season 2 renewal for The Pitt, which netted 13 Emmy nominations for its freshman run, and is currently on track to return to HBO Max with new episodes in a matter of months.

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.

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.

"The Pitt" star Katherine LaNasa says she told a producer to give her diamonds after shooting "disgusting" scene for Season 2.
