The Pitt , Max's gripping medical drama starring Noah Wyle, has captivated audiences with its intense real-time storytelling and realistic portrayal of emergency room challenges. After a successful first season, fans are eager to know: Is The Pitt Season 2 releasing in June 2025? Here's everything we know so far. The Pitt Season 2 Release Date: Is June 2025 Possible?
Despite some speculation, The Pitt Season 2 is not releasing in June 2025. Multiple reports, including Variety and TVLine, confirm that the second season is slated to premiere in January 2026. Max CEO Casey Bloys emphasized the show's annual release model, noting that Season 2 will debut exactly one year after Season 1's January 2025 premiere. This aligns with the production timeline, as filming began in June 2025, following a similar six-month post-production schedule as Season 1.
The January 2026 release date allows Max to maintain a consistent schedule, avoiding the long gaps common in streaming series like House of the Dragon or The Last of Us . While a June 2025 release would have been exciting for fans, it's not feasible given the current production stage. What to Expect from The Pitt Season 2 Plot
Season 2 of The Pitt will continue its unique real-time format, covering a single 15-hour shift over 15 episodes. Set approximately 10 months after Season 1, the new season will take place during the Fourth of July weekend, a notoriously chaotic time for emergency rooms due to fireworks accidents, heat-related illnesses, and alcohol-related injuries. Showrunner R. Scott Gemmill revealed that this time jump allows for fresh storylines while catching up with the characters' development.
A key focus will be on Dr. Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball), who was mandated to attend a 30-day rehab program in Season 1 after stealing medication. Season 2 will likely begin on Langdon's first day back at work, exploring his journey to regain trust, particularly with his mentor, Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch (Noah Wyle). Gemmill hinted at addressing broader healthcare issues, including disparities in care for people of color with diabetes, suggesting a socially relevant narrative. How to Watch The Pitt Season 2
The Pitt Season 2 will stream exclusively on Max, with episodes likely releasing weekly on Thursdays, following the Season 1 schedule. All 15 episodes of Season 1 are currently available on Max, allowing fans to catch up before the new season.

From ‘Jaws' to ‘The Meg,' we rank the 10 best shark movies of all time
From 'Jaws' to 'The Meg,' we rank the 10 best shark movies of all time For five decades, it hasn't been safe to go back into the water. Thanks, "Jaws." The big screen has played host to a never-ending spate of troublesome man-eating sharks ever since Steven Spielberg's killer-fish spectacle. And now's the time to celebrate all things Amity Island with the 50th anniversary of "Jaws" (originally released June 20, 1975). It was the first summer blockbuster and remains one of Spielberg's greatest hits in his storied career. Not to mention having the most iconic – and ominous – two-note musical theme ever. Since "Jaws," audiences have developed a deep hunger for these underwater antagonists – hello, Shark Week! – so we're ranking the top 10 shark movies ever. (It's probably worth noting that, like with basketball comedies, the quality drops off quickly after the first few.) And sorry, "Sharknado." We're excluding made-for-TV flicks from our list, but you, "Ghost Shark" and "Sharktopus" are still cool. Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox 10. 'Deep Blue Sea 3' (2020) The proudly B-movie "Deep Blue Sea" franchise has a penchant for seriously bonkers shark attacks. This third installment is no different: Tania Raymonde plays the head of a group of video-blogging environmentalists on an artificial island in the Mozambique Channel, and her marine biologist ex (Nathaniel Buzolic) shows up with a goon squad hunting a trio of genetically engineered, crazy-smart bull sharks. (Fun fact: You'll root for the fish.) Where to watch: Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 9. 'Meg 2: The Trench' (2023) The first half of this sequel is a dull underwater sci-fi action flick all about folks turning on each other for natural resources and Jason Statham's diver dude saving his trouble-magnetic daughter. Then director Ben Wheatley lets loose with the creature feature we came for, where our hero has to deal with a trio of hungry megalodons, a kaiju-sized octopus and other freaky monsters attacking "Fun Island," a beachy locale that maniacally lives up to its name. Where to watch: Max, Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 8. 'Jaws 2' (1978) Imagine the pressure of following "Jaws" without Steven Spielberg and two of your top actors. But unlike the two sequels that came later, this follow-up wasn't absolute chum. The shark is still crazy destructive – even taking on a helicopter – but what's neat here is the return of Roy Scheider as the police chief who's voted out when the powers-that-be don't believe another beast is in the water, but who saves the day anyway. Where to watch: Tubi, Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 7. 'The Meg' (2018) It does give you the hand-to-fin combat you want from Jason Statham battling a 75-foot-long prehistoric shark, but getting there is a bit arduous: A bunch of researchers plumb new depths off the coast of Shanghai and accidentally unleash the Meg. It's all pretty corny and earnest until the ginormous shark starts wreaking havoc on ships and people in inner tubes. Where to watch: Max, Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 6. 'The Reef' (2010) A bunch of Australian friends (including a pair of lovers) sailing a yacht to Indonesia crash their boat on a coral reef and are stranded in the middle of the ocean. Their only hope is to get to a nearby island, a situation made harder – and much more tense – by a clever great white, noteworthy for being a real shark rather than a CGI one like most films use. Extra points for a headless giant turtle corpse. Where to watch: Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 5. 'Open Water' (2003) This Sundance Film Festival breakout used actual sea life to add all-too-realism to its worst-case vacation scenario. A married couple go on a scuba expedition to help their relationship and wind up getting stranded, with jellyfish stinging and sharks circling. It's an unnerving narrative that aims for authentic emotions and some very hard decisions when it comes to survival. Where to watch: Tubi, Pluto TV, Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 4. 'Under Paris' (2024) Not only did it nab a Stephen King Tweet of Approval, there's a lot to enjoy in this high-end B-movie. A scientist (Bérénice Bejo) partners with a cop (Nassim Lyes) for help when a man-eating menace begins a killing spree, sets up shop in the catacombs and threatens a major triathlon that's come to town. In addition to some "Jaws" nods (including a clueless mayor), the final act is full of fishy mayhem, all leading to one heck of a last-scene cliffhanger. Where to watch: Netflix. 3. 'The Shallows' (2016) The prettiest shark movie you'll ever see, it's essentially "Let's go surfing with Blake Lively in paradise" until her character becomes the target of a hungry shark. A scene-stealing seagull is her only confidante as she tends to a really nasty leg bite – luckily, she's pre-med! – and uses her smarts (and a flare gun) to foil the shark's meal plans. Where to watch: Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 2. 'Deep Blue Sea' (1999) Sure, the ridiculous factor is high when you consider that the sci-fi thriller centers on super-duper-smart sharks born from the studies of scientists working on an Alzheimer's cure. But it totally owns that silliness in an enjoyable way, like a shark using a dude strapped to a gurney as a battering ram. Bonus: The film offers up an all-time great movie death, a joyously gnarly munch you don't see coming until it's too late. Where to watch: Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home. 1. 'Jaws' (1975) The seafaring masterpiece sinks every other shark movie in its utter perfection. Hollywood's first summer blockbuster is aces across the board, from sheer terror to the unforgettable John Williams score (which keeps the dread going even without the toothy predator). But what really elevates the film from creature feature to complex shark-ridden drama is the trio of main characters, including top cop Brody (Roy Scheider), nerdy oceanographer Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and Ahab-esque hunter Quint (Robert Shaw). Where to watch: Tubi, Peacock, Apple TV, Amazon, Fandango at Home.

TV Ratings: ‘The Last of Us' Season 2 Finale Falls Short of Premiere
The season two finale of The Last of Us brought in a smaller first-night audience than either the season premiere in March or its first season finale in 2023. The season finale drew 3.7 million viewers on HBO and Max on its first night, down from 5.3 million for the season premiere in April. It's also well short of the 8.2 million viewers for the close of the first season in February 2023. More from The Hollywood Reporter Streaming Ratings: 'The Four Seasons' Blooms in Premiere Week, 'You' Stays on Top 'The Chi' Renewed for Season 8 at Showtime YouTube Stays Atop TV Distributor Rankings in April Some of the decline for the May 25 episode may be due to the fact that it debuted on the Memorial Day weekend, when viewing levels are typically lower than normal. HBO notes that the second season is averaging 37 million worldwide viewers across all platforms — 'worldwide' being the key word there. Season one drew 32 million cross-platform viewers in the U.S. alone (HBO measures viewing for its shows for 90 days after a season premiere); HBO hasn't released a U.S.-only figure for the current season. Other ratings items: • Fox Sports got a big turnout for its inaugural broadcast of the Indianapolis 500. The 109th edition of the race averaged 7.05 million viewers, the highest mark for the Indy 500 since 2008 (with the caveat that out of home viewing wasn't included in Nielsen's ratings until 2020). It was up 40 percent year to year (the 2024 race aired on NBC) and peaked with 8.4 million viewers from 4:15-4:30 p.m. Sunday. Fox is in the first year of a rights deal with IndyCar, which previously had a longstanding relationship with NBC Sports. • The seventh season premiere of The Chi delivered 2 million cross-platform viewers over its first seven days. Showtime says it was also the most streamed premiere in the show's history, narrowly beating out the season 6B opener in May 2024. The Chi has set premiere viewership records in each of its last three installments, a rarity for a show that has been around for as long as it has. • The first American Music Awards since 2022 — and the first on CBS — posted improved numbers. Monday's show, hosted by Jennifer Lopez, averaged 4.86 million viewers, leading Memorial Day on broadcast networks and growing by 38 percent over the last AMAs telecast in November 2022 on ABC. The CBS telecast was up by 23 percent (0.63 rating to 0.78) in the key ad sales demographic of adults 18-49. After seven days of linear viewing, the AMAs grew to 5.2 million viewers, its best mark since 2019. About 10 million people watched at least six minutes of the CBS broadcast or encores on MTV, CMT and BET. The AMAs are produced by Dick Clark Productions, which is owned by Penske Media Corporation, The Hollywood Reporter's parent company, in a subsidiary joint venture between Penske Media and Eldridge.

‘The Last of Us' Creators Confirm Kaitlyn Dever-Led Season 3: 'I Was Sure They Wouldn't Let Us Do This'
[This story contains major spoilers from season two of .] While celebrating the second season of The Last of Us at an Emmys FYC event on Tuesday, co-creators Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann offered up a few details about what's in store for season three. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'Materialists' Review: Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal Bring Affecting Soulfulness to Celine Song's Perceptive Romantic Drama 'The Last of Us' Co-Creator Craig Mazin Dissects That Feared Final Moment of Season Two Ariana Grande, Pedro Pascal, Sabrina Carpenter Sign Open Letter Supporting Federal Funding for LGBTQ Youth Suicide Prevention The duo took part in two panels at the event, the first alongside cinematographer Ksenia Sereda, costume designer Ann Foley, editor Timothy Good, composer David Fleming, production designer Don Macaulay and visual effects supervisor Alex Wang. During that conversation, Mazin mused how they build these extensive, meticulous sets and 'we tend to light things on fire, smash them, tear them down' — something they may change for season three. 'It's more of a water season than a fire season,' Druckmann revealed, as Mazin confirmed, 'It's a wetter season than a hotter season.' Later, following a screening of the season's second episode, Mazin and Druckmann returned with stars Bella Ramsey, Isabela Merced, Gabriel Luna and Young Mazino, with Kaitlyn Dever appearing virtually as she's working on another project in Australia. Rob McElhenney, who repeatedly declared The Last of Us 'my favorite show on television,' moderated the conversation. Druckmann discussed how he'd been involved in several failed attempts to adapt his video game and 'I think it was good to go on that journey to end up at HBO, end up at a place that leaned into those controversial decisions, I guess,' like killing off Pedro Pascal's character Joel early in the second season. 'But the decisions are just what the story required, and even now, it's like I can't believe that they let us structure the series in this way. Meaning like we just ended season two, and season three is going to be starring — spoiler alert — Kaitlyn.' 'What?!' Dever jokingly reacted, as McElhenney teased, 'Had you closed your deal yet? You just got a ton of leverage.' Druckmann continued, 'I was sure that they wouldn't let us do this when we started adapting this, but they've leaned into what makes, I believe, the story special. And allowed us not only the time but the creative freedom to be able to take these swings, and I think the audience really appreciates that.' Dever joined the second season as Abby, a divisive character in the video games who brutally murders Pascal's beloved character. It had been speculated that the third season would shift to tell Abby's story, but had not yet been explicitly confirmed. The actress said taking part in the conversation, even remotely, 'makes me so happy to be a part of this family and to get to look forward to the journey we have ahead too.' Dever added that 'the controversy surrounding Abby was never really a concern for me, just given my first meeting with Craig and Neil and how wonderful they are and how talented they are. Getting on set, I've never felt so carried on a set in my life.' As McElhenney jokingly berated Dever for killing Pascal — 'You killed America's Sweetheart! You brutally murdered America's Sweetheart with a golf club' — Mazin explained the decision, noting, 'To invest all this time and then go away for a long time and then come back, it's even more dangerous to do what we did, and that's why I thought it should be done, because it doesn't happen enough.' 'I think plot armor is a real problem and in a show where we try and keep things as grounded as possible, and we want people to feel in real danger, then yes, sometimes the people that we can't imagine dying die,' he continued. 'Because, for me, this is not a show about revenge, it's a show about grief. Well, how are we supposed to grieve if nobody we truly, truly are invested in dies?'
