Overview

  • The Pitt, Max's first original medical procedural, has been renewed for a second season, slated to premiere in January 2026.
  • Season 2 will feature a 10-month narrative jump, taking place during a 15-hour ER shift on the Fourth of July weekend.
  • The cast will undergo a condensed one-week medical boot camp for the upcoming season, compared to two weeks for Season 1.
  • Noah Wyle shared how filming on the same studio lot as ER created a sense of nostalgia and completion for him.
  • Wyle revealed that a particularly emotional scene in Season 1 elicited a PTSD reaction from his mother, a former orthopedic nurse, due to its realism.
