Let's be honest – there was every chance that the surprise HBO Max smash hit The Pitt was a one-off. Following the singular shift in a Pittsburgh emergency room across an entire series, season 1 was a breath of fresh air, and an incredibly urgent one at that. But by blending its winning formula with new dynamic elements, The Pitt season 2 is just as strong... and perhaps even better.
We're picking up 10 months after the events of season 1, with our unhinged day shift staff taking over for the Fourth of July weekend. Lead Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) is a lot more grounded than his emotional breakdown in season 1, planning to leave for a three-month sabbatical after the holiday shift is over.
