HBO Max has released a new trailer and key art for “The Pitt” Season 2, which premieres Jan. 8 at 9 p.m. ET. New episodes of the 15-episode season will premiere weekly until the season finale on April 16.
According to a series logline, “’The Pitt’ is a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today’s America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh.” Season 1 took place on the day of a major music festival, while Season 2 is set to take place on the Fourth of July.
Star Noah Wyle, who plays Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch, revealed at August’s Televerse TV Festival that the new season will also tackle recent changes to the American healthcare system.
“Before we even start to write, we’re conducting interviews with all sorts of people from every sector and vector of healthcare, and they tell us what they’re up against,” he said. “They tell us what they would love to see on TV, and they tell us what would really be counterproductive to what they’re trying to do if we put it on TV.”
Other cast members include Patrick Ball (Dr. Langdon), Katherine LaNasa (Dana Evans), Supriya Ganesh (Dr. Mohan), Fiona Dourif (Dr. McKay), Taylor Dearden (Dr. King), Isa Briones (Dr. Santos), Gerran Howell (Whitaker), Shabana Azeez (Javadi) and Sepideh Moafi (Dr. Al-Hashimi).
On Monday, Luke Tennie (Dr. Crus Henderson), Travis Van Winkle (Curtis Larson), Meta Golding (Noelle Hastings) and Christopher Thornton (Dr. Caleb Jefferson) joined the cast for Season 2.
“The Pitt” was created by R. Scott Gemmill, who serves as executive producer alongside John Wells, Wyle, Erin Jontow, Jow Sachs, Simran Baidwan and Michael Hissrich. John Wells Productions serves as producer in association with Warner Bros. Television, where the banner has an overall deal.
