'The Pitt' Season 2 teaser promises more emergencies in new heart-pumping shift
Feel that pit in your stomach? It may be the stress of "The Pitt" Season 2's impending return. The adrenaline-pumping medical show, which charmed fans with its "ER" reminiscent style, is back for more after its inaugural season. A new teaser, out Aug. 21, shows lead doctor Michael "Robby" Robinavitch (Noah Wyle) clocking in for a new shift at the fictional Pittsburgh hospital that serves as backdrop for "The Pitt." Without giving away much plot, the trailer offers a series of quickly strung together scenes, showing the staff dealing with various medical emergencies as pressure mounts. Noah Wyle: I play a doctor on 'The Pitt.' Real health care workers need our help. Season 2 of the series, which streams on HBO Max, will drop in January. Lauded as a realistic portrait of the challenging circumstances American medical workers face post-pandemic, "The Pitt" is a strong Emmy contender this year. Rather than chronicle months in its characters' lives, the show's entire first season took place over the course of one day. Our obsession with 'The Pitt' and other medical shows, explained Wyle, who also starred in "ER," previously told USA TODAY that putting the stethoscope back around his neck for "The Pitt" felt nostalgic. "I didn't know that a prop could ever be endowed with as much muscle memory and history as a stethoscope for me," he said. "But it's true. It's just weird." Contributing: Bryan Alexander

'The Pitt' season 2 teaser trailer sees Dr. Robby clock in for another chaotic ER shift
Scrub up! It's nearly time to return to Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital and reunite with your favorite overworked ER staff. Diehard fans already know that "The Pitt" season 2 is set to premiere on HBO Max in January 2026, and now a new teaser trailer is helping to cushion that months-long wait and give viewers an idea of just what we can expect in the new episodes. Released by HBO on Thursday, August 21, the minute-long promo is packed with familiar faces, with Noah Wyle's Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch leading the realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today's America. "The prodigal son returns," quips Nurse Dana Evans (Katherine LaNasa) upon Robby's arrival. Wyle's character is joined by fellow returning physicians including Dr. King (Taylor Dearden), Dr. Mohan (Supriya Ganesh) and, controversially, Dr. Langdon (Patrick Ball) — on his first day back at work after his return from rehab — as well as student docs Dennis Whitaker (Gerran Howell), Trinity Santos (Isa Briones), Victoria Javadi (Shabana Azeez) and a new med student played by Laëtitia Hollard. Season 2 looks to introduce more medical anomalies, legal mess and personal tensions for our Pitt crew. We also briefly meet new series regular Sepideh Moafi ("Black Bird," "Generation Q: The L Word") and her character Dr. Al-Hashimi, a new attending physician in emergency medicine; she joins the season 2 cast alongside Charles Baker, Irene Choi and Lucas Iverson as recurring characters. "[Dr. Al-Hashimi's] gonna be someone who's very progressive in her approach to medicine and believes in the modernization of the medical field," showrunner R. Scott Gemmill recently told Entertainment Weekly. "And Robby's a little bit more old school and there'll be a little bit of, let's just say, tension as they try and figure out how to work together." Gemmill added, "Robby has a very specific way of how he likes to run his emergency department, and Dr. Al-Hashimi has her own specific ways of how she likes to run an emergency department, and they're not necessarily cohesive." The second season of the critically acclaimed series, which has garnered 13 Emmy® nominations thus far, will have a similar structure as its predecessor: Episodes will play out in "real time" over the course of a 15-hour hospital shift. However, season 2 will see a time jump of 10 months after the events of season 1, taking place over the course of the Fourth of July weekend. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. There's fireworks,' Gemmill previously teased to Vulture. 'Somebody doesn't do so well at a hot-dog-eating contest; somebody's sunburned. You can see all the cases wandering in.'
