The Pitt Season 1 To Air On TNT Ahead Of Season 2 Premiere On HBO Max

The Pitt is headed to basic cable: The hit medical drama will get a second run on TNT this fall, ahead of the series' Season 2 premiere on HBO Max in January 2026.

An exact date has not yet been announced, but TVLine will keep you posted once it has been revealed.

For the uninitiated: The Pitt offers a realistic depiction of the greatest challenges facing healthcare workers in today's America, as seen through the eyes of the doctors and nurses working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh. 

Noah Wyle, a five-time Emmy nominee for his breakout role as ER doctor John Carter, now inhabits the part of emergency department chief Michael Robinavitch — aka Dr. Robby. The 15-episode first season takes place in real time (à la 24), with all episodes encompassing a single shift. 

Wyle, who wrote two Season 1 episodes, executive-produces alongside fellow ER vets John Wells and series creator R. Scott Gemmill. 

In addition to Wyle, the series' ensemble includes Tracy Ifeachor as Dr. Heather Collins, Patrick Ball as Dr. Frank Langdon, Supriya Ganesh as Dr. Samira Mohan, Fiona Dourif as Dr. Cassie McKay, Taylor Dearden as Dr. Melissa "Mel" King, Isa Briones as Dr. Trinity Santos, Gerran Howell as med student Dennis Whitaker, Shabana Azeez as fellow med student Victoria Javadi, and Katherine LaNasa as charge nurse Dana Evans.
