Is The Pitt season 2 releasing in June 2025? Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 14, 2025, 17:30 IST Last updated June 14, 2025, 11:32 IST 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. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

'We love that John's global career started in Toronto. Colin Hanks has made a hugely entertaining film packed with some of Hollywood's biggest stars, but like John, this movie is all heart.'

We are incredibly honored to have gotten to know the man better through this process and to bring the real John Candy to audiences starting with his hometown of Toronto.'

Justin Baldoni to ‘March Forward' With Blake Lively Legal Battle After $400 Million Defamation Suit Thrown Out: Facts Are ‘on Our Side'
Justin Baldoni plans to keep at his legal battle with 'It Ends With Us' co-star Blake Lively after a judge dismissed his $400 million defamation lawsuit against her and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. 'Ms. Lively and her team's predictable declaration of victory is false, so let us be clear about the latest ruling,' Baldoni's lawyer Bryan Freedman said in a statement to Variety. 'While the court dismissed the defamation related claims, the court has invited us to amend four out of the seven claims against Ms. Lively, which will showcase additional evidence and refined allegations. This case is about false accusations of sexual harassment and retaliation and a nonexistent smear campaign, which Ms. Lively's own team conveniently describes as 'untraceable' because they cannot prove what never happened.' More from Variety Judge Throws Out Justin Baldoni's $400 Million Defamation Suit Against Blake Lively Judge Rules Blake Lively's Emotional Distress Claims Against Justin Baldoni Are Officially Dead Blake Lively Abandons Claims Against Justin Baldoni of Infliction of Emotional Distress Freedman's statement continued, 'Most importantly, Ms. Lively's own claims are no truer today than they were yesterday, and with the facts on our side, we march forward with the same confidence that we had when Ms. Lively and her cohorts initiated this battle and look forward to her forthcoming deposition, which I will be taking. We are grateful for the organic show of support from the public and for the dedication of the Internet sleuth community who continue to cover the case with discernment and integrity.' On Monday, a judge tossed out the entire lawsuit filed by Baldoni that accused Lively and Reynolds of extortion and other claims. Judge Lewis J. Liman, who found that Lively's accusations of sexual harassment were legally protected and therefore immune from suit, allowed Baldoni to amend and refile a couple of allegations regarding interference with contracts. Baldoni's lawsuit against The New York Times, which Baldoni claimed had conspired with Lively and Reynolds to destroy his career with false allegations, was also dismissed. 'As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the court saw right through it,' Lively's lawyers said on June 9 after the dismissal. 'We look forward to the next round, which is seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages and punitive damages against Baldoni […] and the other Wayfarer Parties who perpetrated this abusive litigation.' Lively has sued Baldoni in federal court for sexual harassment and retaliation, alleging the director and producers of 'It Ends With Us' launched a smear campaign against her after she complained about the conditions on the film's set. A trial on Lively's complaint against Baldoni and his company, Wayfarer Studios, has been set for March 2026.
