The Pitt Season 2: Everything We Know
Strong vital signs resulted in a swift Season 2 renewal for the Noah Wyle medical drama The Pitt, which is on track to return with new episodes in a matter of months. The pickup came just seven hours into Dr. Robby's shift — long before the acclaimed series' 15th and final hour dropped on April 10. 'We're excited and delighted with the audience response for our first season of The Pitt and can't be more appreciative of our partners at Max and Warner Bros. Television for all of their extraordinary support throughout our first season,' Wyle and fellow executive producers R. Scott Gemmill and John Wells said in a joint statement on Feb. 14.

Our collaboration with John Wells, R. Scott Gemmill, Noah Wyle and Warner Bros. Television has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and we are excited to continue down this path with another season.' TVLine will continue to update this page as additional news trickles in about The Pitt Season 2, so be sure to bookmark it and check back frequently. In the meantime, scroll down to review everything we know so far. Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch had to be talked off a ledge by Dr. Jack Abbot, who offered to connect our grizzled hero with his therapist…. Nurse Dana Evans, still reeling from her assault, had not yet decided whether she was going to return to work the following week (if ever)…. Dr. Frank Langdon, at risk of losing his job, was staring down the barrel of rehab…. Dr. Heather Collins was at home with her phone off, presumably fast asleep and blissfully unaware of what went down at PittFest. Dr. Cassie McKay avoided arrest, but still had to get her ankle monitor fixed…. Dr. Samira Mohan was struggling with work/life balance…. Dr. Melissa 'Mel' King, juggling the demands of residency and looking after her autistic sister, had just retrieved Becca from her care facility…. Dr. Trinity Santos invited med student Denis Whitaker to come live with her…. and fellow med student Victoria Javadi seemed unsure if she wanted to pursue a career in emergency medicine — or any career in medicine, for that matter — after a hellish day in the ED. The Pitt Season 2 will pick up roughly nine-to-10 months after the events of Season 1. 'We're going to do Fourth of July weekend,' Gemmill previously told TVLine. 'Nine, basically 10 months later, gives a lot of room for us to have developed a few stories in the interim and catch up with everyone.' The next 15-hour shift will mark Langdon's first day back at work after agreeing to go to rehab, and we'll 'get to catch up as he catches up' with everyone. That includes Dr. Robby, who will be 'getting himself mentally healthy again' in Season 2. Gemmill also confirms that charge nurse Dana Evans isn't going anywhere — though that doesn't mean she didn't take some time off between the events of Seasons 1 and 2. 'I think if next season were to take place the next day or the next week, you wouldn't see Dana,' he said. 'I think she needs to take some time off to really talk to her husband, talk about what she wants out of life…. I think when she comes back, she's going to have a bit of an attitude adjustment, though. She'll be even less tolerant of bulls—t. She's going to be much more protective of her flock.' The time jump will also facilitate changes in hospital hierarchy: 'Because it will be July, everyone has been promoted or graduated to the next level,' Gemmill pointed out. 'For instance, Whitaker will be an intern next year — so, finally, his character will be getting paid.' Javadi, meanwhile, 'is going to be doing a sub-internship, and we find out that maybe that's just her stalling because she doesn't want to make up her mind about where she wants to go.' The Pitt Season 1 cast consisted of series regulars Noah Wyle (Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch), Tracy Ifeachor (Dr. Heather Collins), Patrick Ball (Dr. Frank Langdon), Supriya Ganesh (Dr. Samira Mohan), Fiona Dourif (Dr. Cassie McKay), Taylor Dearden (Dr. Melissa 'Mel' King), Isa Briones (Dr. Trinity Santos), Gerran Howell (med student Dennis Whitaker), Shabana Azeez (med student Victoria Javadi) and Katherine LaNasa (charge nurse Dana Evans). Recurring guest stars included, but certainly were not limited to: Shawn Hatosy (Dr. Jack Abbot), Alexandra Metz (Dr. Yolanda Garcia), Ayesha Harris (Dr. Parker Ellis), Ken Kirby (Dr. John Shen), Tedra Millan (Dr. Emery Walsh), Deepti Gupta (Dr. Eileen Shamsi), Krystel V. McNeil (social worker Kiara Alfaro) and Michael Hyatt (PTMC chief medical officer Gloria Underwood). According to Gemmill, you can expect to see all your favorites back in Season 2: 'Some people might be working different hours and different shifts, but it's pretty much the same crew.' He also confirmed that the show will 'introduce a couple of new characters, as well, because there are always new people coming in and out of the hospital, so that will give us some new dynamics.' The Pitt Season 2 is on track to premiere in January 2026, just one year after the debut of Season 1. TVLine will update this page when a precise premiere date has been confirmed. Cameras have not started rolling on The Pitt Season 2, so a trailer is not yet available. TVLine will keep you posted once there is new footage we are able to share.

"The Pitt" Just Finished A Perfect First Season, And Everyone Is Making The Same Jokes Because They Are 100% Correct
There are obviously MASSIVE spoilers ahead for The Pitt Season 1! Well, the best new TV show of 2025 has just finished its first season. That's right, I'm talking about the impeccable masterclass that was The Pitt Season 1. The first season followed one shift at a Pittsburgh trauma hospital's emergency room. And it had everything. From a woman giving birth to a little girl drowning in a pool to, well, rats in the ER, every single episode — which chronicles one hour of a 15-hour shift — was somehow better than the last. The Season 1 finale, titled "9:00 p.m.," dealt with the fallout from the PittFest mass shooting as Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) and the morning shift began to clock out, and the night shift took over. And while this was a finale, not everything was wrapped up in a neat little bow, which I honestly loved. We aren't quite sure who we'll see when The Pitt returns for Season 2 in January 2026 — with the season taking place over the 4th of July weekend — but I've fallen in love with this found family and every character so much. Dana, if you can hear me, PLEASE come back to work! So, because The Pitt just wrapped Season 1, here are 25 of the funniest and best reactions to the finale and more: Editor's Note: While we can't endorse what X has become, we can bring you the worthwhile moments that still exist there, curated and free of the surrounding chaos. 1. 2. 3.

The Pitt's Noah Wyle Talks PittFest Shooter Reveal, Robby's Ex and Brad Dourif Cameo
Mystery solved… well, sort of: The penultimate episode of The Pitt stopped short of revealing the identity of the PittFest shooter, but cleared troubled teen David of any wrongdoing. Roughly a third of the way through Episode 14, chief medical officer Gloria informed the emergency department that S.W.A.T. found the shooter, already dead, with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. His identity and his motive remain unknown — but to Dana's point, 'Does it matter?' More from TVLine Has The Pitt's Dr. Robby Reached His Breaking Point? Noah Wyle Unpacks Devastating Last Scene in Episode 13 TVLine's Performer of the Week: Noah Wyle The Last of Us' Bella Ramsey: Isabela Merced's Dina Brings Out Ellie's 'More Wild and More Free' Side in Season 2 - Watch Video That view is shared by Noah Wyle. In Part 2 of our latest conversation, the star and executive producer of the hit Max medical drama tells me that neither the identity nor the motivation of the gunman are relevant, adding: 'That has absolutely nothing to do with the horrific nature of the work that these [doctors and nurses] have to perform in the aftermath of this, so why give it any attention? It's certainly not going to make any difference at this point in any of the people's lives who are in our environment. 'That said, we did enjoy the misdirection of having a lot of people think it was David or Doug Driscoll or… you know, I even read some wilder theories on that. But that was to underscore the storyline that we really wanted to explore with David's character, which is about misunderstanding at every level,' Wyle explains. 'Trying to connect, but missing crucial moments when that connection really needs to be in place. Otherwise, it can trigger suspicion, paranoia, panic, over-involvement, lapse in judgment — all sorts of things happen in the wake of our bias, our misinterpretation and our misunderstanding of David's behavior. 'Were we wrong to intervene? Maybe not,' he says. 'But we were wrong, in this particular case, to assume that it was 1-to-1. I think that's another important lesson to take from this — that while thought crimes are not crimes, they can be cries for help, or needs for attention or analysis, and I think that was an important message to get across.' The episode also introduces a pair of new characters — both of whom share ties to The Pitt's ensemble. First is Sarah Jane Morris (Brothers & Sisters), who plays Robby's ex-girlfriend (and Jake's mother) Janey; in real life, she's married to Ned Brower, who recurs as Nurse Jesse. Second is Brad Dourif — aka Chucky! — who makes a cameo opposite his real-life daughter, Fiona Dourif, and plays Dr. Cassie McKay's father. 'I'm a huge Brad Dourif fan,' Wyle tells me. 'I've been a fan of Brad's — not just from [One Flew Over the] Cuckoo's Nest, but Wise Blood and Mississippi Burning. I mean, I've been a fan of his forever.' As for Morris, and the decision to bring Janey into the fold now, Wyle explains: 'It just seemed appropriate to bring in somebody who has zero frame of reference for Robby in this environment. We haven't met somebody like that yet — somebody who knows his tendencies to blame himself and to go into a shame spiral… someone who knows his intentions are pure and honorable, even if a little damaged…. [Robby is] someone who she has affection for, but also was probably hurt by, but [she] has rationalized that [because] at least her son has a good, positive, male role model in his life, and that outweighs whatever disappointment she may feel that the relationship didn't work out.'

‘The Pitt' Is The Best Show On TV And Noah Wyle Is Simply Brilliant
The Pitt Credit: HBO The last time I wrote about The Pitt, I'd only seen four episodes of the new medical drama and already I knew it was something special. Things had not quite heated up, though already I found myself emotionally invested in all the characters, each of the various cases and the incredible way this story was being told. Now, I'm all caught up and boy-oh-boy have things reached a boiling point. Or perhaps a breaking point. This post contains spoilers. Do not read any further if you aren't caught up. Read the link above for a spoiler-free review, or watch my video review below: The Pitt takes on the real-time format made famous by 24, but it's a very different show. Instead of dealing with terrorist plots and national security, the show takes us into the dramatic events of one day in a Pittsburgh trauma center emergency room. We follow head ER doctor, Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch (Noah Wyle) and his staff of attending physicians, student doctors, nurses, medics and social workers as they handle the steady, often chaotic, flow of new (and returning) patients beginning at the start of the 7am day shift. The series has now gone one hour into the next shift, as calamity strikes in the form of a mass shooting at a music festival, with dozens of casualties. As intense as the last two episodes have been, as the already strained to the limits ER deals with a flood of new trauma patients, it's the rest of the series prior to the shooting that really made me fall in love with the show. The Pitt does several things really exceptionally well: The big mass shooting that's serving as the capstone of the season has certainly turned up the heat, giving a struggling, overwhelmed ER an almost impossible crisis to deal with, but I think the show would have worked even without such a dramatic turn of events. I'm not saying the writers shouldn't have taken us in this direction, only that I think a more 'normal' day in the ER would have been just as powerful and profound. That speaks more to the excellence of the series up through Episode 11 more than as a criticism of the last two. In any case, this is a brilliant medical drama. It's like nothing I've seen before. The cast is phenomenal, and Noah Wyle in particular is putting in one of the best performances I've seen in years. Dr. Robby has instantly become one of my favorite characters on TV, and Wyle's funny, earnest, heartbreaking performance should win him the Emmy for Best Actor. I hope this show wins a bunch of awards and gets tons of fanfare, because it deserves both the praise and recognition, as well as another season. We have two episodes left, though I think we may have reached the dramatic peak in this week's episode, as Robby finally reaches his breaking point, collapsing in tears after he fails to save the life of a teenage girl shot at PittFest.
