  • HBO Max confirmed on July 10 that Tracy Ifeachor will not return as Dr. Heather Collins after the creative team decided to remove her role for Season 2.
  • Production on the sophomore season began in mid-June and continues the series’ one-hour-per-episode real-time format, this time covering a single 15-hour ER shift over the Fourth of July weekend.
  • Sepideh Moafi has been added as a series regular, portraying a new attending physician in emergency medicine at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center.
  • The Pitt remains under showrunner R. Scott Gemmill and is produced by John Wells Productions in partnership with Warner Bros. Television.
