Thanks to star Fiona Dourif sharing the first teaser trailer for The Pitt season 2 on her Instagram stories, fans of the breakout show quickly posted copies around the internet. Thankfully, this means that if you missed the 24-hour viewing window (it's only just been uploaded to the main HBO or HBO Max social media accounts), we've been able to watch and dissect it at our leisure. We know that season 2 began filming in April and is due to be released in January 2026, so HBO is running a pretty tight schedule.
While we've seen a few on-set interviews on YouTube and first-look photos of what's to come, the teaser trailer (which you can catch up with below) is our first proper understanding of what's to come. It picks up 10 months after season 1 ended, following another chaotic shift over the fourth of July weekend. Only Tracy Ifeachor's Dr. Collins definitely isn't returning for future episodes after it was revealed she was written out of the series.
