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.

Meanwhile, Max programming head Sarah Aubrey said: 'It's been a thrill to watch audiences embrace The Pitt as an update to procedural storytelling with a cast who authentically embody the heroics of doctors and nurses on shift in a 2025 emergency room. 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.
