We're living in a time when, despite the enormous spending power and production capacity of the biggest and best streaming services, many of the biggest shows in the world take years out between seasons. Whether it's House of the Dragon or Stranger Things, we're all used to these huge gaps, making it quite a pleasant surprise when a network like HBO manages to avoid them.
Sure, House of the Dragon might be a bit of a crawl, but in The Pitt the network has discovered a format that it can make reliably and to a high quality, on an annual schedule. That's been proven by the release of a teaser trailer for the show's third season, ahead of its premiere in January 2027, exactly a year after the second season.
