It’s a new day and new shit — excuse me, that’s shift — at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, known to its employees and fans as “The Pitt,” returning to HBO Max in 2026.
A teaser for Season 2, which will premiere within a year of Season 1, shows Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch (Noah Wyle) and his team of doctors, surgeons, nurses, and residents returning to the floor for another 15-hour shift full of unexpected challenges and ailments. Katherine LaNasa, Supriya Ganesh, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell, Shabana Azeez, and Sepideh Moafi reprise their roles from Season 1, as does Patrick Ball as the potentially disgraced Dr. Langdon, who appears in a critical moment of the teaser.

“The Pitt” comes from John Wells Productions and Warner Bros. Television, created by R. Scott Gemmill. The 15-episode first season received 13 Emmy nominations and looks to have a good chance at the September 14 awards ceremony. IndieWire’s Marcus Jones see strong odds for the freshman series, which took Gemmill and Wyle back to their “E.R.” roots and arguably resuscitated the medical drama under the HBO Max banner. “The Pitt” won the award for Breakthrough Drama Series at June’s Gotham TV Awards, where Wyle and LaNasa were also nominated for their performances. At the Television Critics Association Awards, the show won all four of its categories, including Program of the Year.
In an interview with IndieWire in the spring, executive producer John Wells said, “The show is presenting hard-working, blue-collar people who are trying to make a difference, and are coming at their work every day in a certain way, bringing a lot of dedication in very difficult circumstances, with some integrity and a moral compass and saying, ‘Look, I can’t change the world. I can do this today. I can do this in this one-hour period or this two-hour period.’ People do find comfort in that. They find something to admire in it, which we need.”
In just a few months, they’ll be back to changing the world, one patient and one hour at a time.
“The Pitt” returns to HBO Max in January 2026. Watch the Season 2 teaser below.
