Watch The Pitt Season 2: Preview
There are few occasions in which we’d delight in being wheeled into a overcrowded ER department, but the promise of more award-winning The Pitt is definitely one of them. Jumping forward 10 months, Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch (Noah Wyle) is clocking in for his next shift. And, along with his fellow doctors, nurses, and a cohort of medical interns, they’re braced for another wave of patients to come crashing head first into a broken system. Check out the below guide for everything about how to watch The Pitt Season 2 online and stream weekly episodes from anywhere.
Propulsive, gritty, and authentically portraying the pressures faced by today’s healthcare workers, The Pitt had us gripping our chests in all the best ways. That shouldn’t have come as a surprise. The show – which won Outstanding Drama Series at the Emmys – is the brainchild of exec producers R. Scott Gemmill, John Wells, and Noah Wyle, whose previous collaboration (NBC’s ER) redefined the medical drama and TV generally.
While The Pitt shares DNA with its aforementioned progenitor, it’s spliced ingeniously with the real time approach of Fox’s 24 (2001-2014), an innovation that imbues the show with a pulse-raising urgency. Each season charts the trials faced by Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center staff over one single day, while each episode homes in on each hour of a backbreaking 15-hour shift.
It results in a somewhat immersive experience as the men and women of “The Pitt” respond to an escalation of patients, ailments, and crises whose relentlessness – and those grisly surgical details – come close to achieving a horror-movie intensity. It’s an alarmingly honest look at an overburdened, underfunded system, though any fatalism is leavened with a few hundred cc’s of humanity and humor.
Season 2 finds Robby clock in on Independence Day, for the final time before taking a three month sabbatical and, presumably, averting total mental collapse. Apart from Tracy Ifeachor, the central cast all don scrubs, gloves, and stethoscope once again in aid of a revolving door of patients. In addition to facing some huge challenges (including a hospital-wide IT blackout), tension is rife for Robby when Dr. Langdon (Patrick Ball) returns from rehab, while he locks horns with his incoming replacement, Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi), who asks him: “What do you need to get some basic empathy back?”
Get ready to begin a compellingly chaotic new shift. Simply scroll on where we’ll break down how to watch The Pitt Season 2 online and using a VPN if you’re out of the country.

How to watch The Pitt Season 2 online from anywhere
If you're a US citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch The Pitt Season 2 online just as you would at home.
While services like HBO Max block access from IP addresses outside of the US, there's a handy piece of software called a VPN that can change your IP address to make it look like you're accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, US citizens overseas can subscribe to a VPN, join a US-based server and access their subscription from anywhere in the world, just like they would back home.
How to use a VPN to unblock streaming services:
1. Choose your ideal VPN and install – our go-to recommendation for unblocking is NordVPN, costing from $3.99 a month with its 2-year plan
2. Connect to a server – for HBO Max, for example, you'll want to connect to a server based in the US or Australia.
3. Go to the stream you wish to access - to watch The Pitt Season 2, head to HBO Max.

Why Did Tracy Ifeachor Leave The Pitt?
Tracy Ifeachor, who portrayed Dr. Heather Collins, made her final appearance in episode 11 of The Pitt’s inaugural season. In that episode, we learned that she’d suffered a miscarriage before her colleague Robby told her to take the rest of the day off.
The reason why she isn’t returning is a creative one. As executive producer John Wells explained during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter: “The show is set at a teaching hospital. And if you're a fourth-year resident in a teaching hospital, your time there is done at the end of that year.” So not all staff members would be on the payroll when the series picks back up for Season 2 some 10 months later.
Where Can I Watch The Pitt Companion Podcast?
You can find The Pitt Companion Podcast – an official video companion to the show – available on HBO Max, following the release of each episode. The series will be hosted by writer and critic Hunter Harris (HBO Girls Rewatch Podcast, Lemme Say This) and physician, producer, and journalist Dr. Alok Patel (NOVA Now).
