Season 2 will pick up 10 months after the final hour of Season 1, which concluded April 10. Showrunner R. Scott Gemmill hinted that Season 2 will take place over Fourth of July weekend during a day-long shift, which will likely see all kinds of ER patients.

Shabana Azeez, who stars in the show as medical student Victoria Javadi, joked on her Instagram that Abbot is in a "retirement home." Hatosy has another explanation.

Hatosy will be back in Season 2 — and will also be stepping behind the camera to direct. Below, Hatosy opens up about his Emmy nomination (for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama, one of 13 the show received), Abbot’s Season 1 arc, and more. (Plus, watch him break down the rooftop scene in the finale here .)

Along with a look at the show, the teaser also confirmed that The Pitt season 2 will release on Max in January 2026.

In the very first production pic from The Pitt Season 2, we saw Dr. Robby walking side-by-side with Ken Kirby’s scene-stealing Dr. Shen. The chill doctor caught fans’ attention by essentially just running on Dunkies throughout the horrifying Pitt Fest fallout.

HBO Max has released the first trailer for “ The Pitt ” Season 2, with returning stars Noah Wyle as Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch, Patrick Ball as Dr. Frank Langdon and more. The new season premieres in January.

HBO Max's hit medical drama The Pitt introduces Dr. Al-Hashimi as Dr. Collins' replacement in season 2, setting up a tense dynamic with Dr. Robby.
