Info on The Pitt's Second Season Revealed
The medical drama series "The Pitt" is set to make a comeback next year, with the premiere date confirmed for January 2026. Max CEO Casey Bloys announced the news in an interview with Vulture, and production for the second season has already begun as of mid-2025.
Creator R. Scott Gemmill will continue to work on the series, and many of the original cast members are returning. Among the new additions to the cast are Lawrence Robinson, who will join as Brian Hancock, a sweet, charming, and kind-hearted patient in a recurring role. Laëtitia Hollard will also join the show as Emma, a recent nursing school graduate, also in a recurring role.
The second season of "The Pitt" will take place ten months after the events of the first season, and it will again feature a 15-hour day in the hospital’s emergency department. This time, the action will unfold over a Fourth of July weekend.
Noah Wyle, who plays Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, teased that there is more story to be told in "The Pitt", and Sarah Aubrey, head of Max original programming, has expressed excitement about continuing the collaboration on the series for another season.
One of the returning characters is Dana, played by Katherine LaNasa. Dana will have an attitude adjustment in the second season, becoming less tolerant of bulls-t and more protective of her team. Sepideh Moafi has joined as a new series regular, playing an attending physician in emergency medicine.
Other new cast members include Lucas Iverson as James, a fourth-year medical student, Irene Choi as Joy, a third-year medical student, and Charles Baker as Troy, an unhoused man in the ED.
The creators of "The Pitt" have said that they will use the time jump to develop new stories and catch up with the characters. They are eager to explore the progress made by Langdon in his sobriety journey, which is the main reason for the time jump in the second season.
