Production Resumes on The Pitt
Production has resumed on HBO Max’s acclaimed medical drama The Pitt, and the follow-up season promises higher stakes and new faces.
Overview of Season 1
The first season followed Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch (Noah Wyle) through a single 15-hour shift at the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, with each episode representing one hour of an intense workday. Audiences watched the ensemble — from seasoned staff to fresh interns — confront everything from routine complaints to devastating injuries in a continuous, hour-by-hour format.
The show’s real-time approach and sometimes graphic scenes hooked viewers and led to an early renewal shortly after Season 1 premiered. Now, the series is back in production and set to pick up the story months later.
When and Where Season 2 Takes Place
Season 2 will maintain the 15-hour shift structure, with each episode again covering one hour. Per Deadline, the new season opens roughly 10 months after the finale of Season 1 and unfolds over Fourth of July weekend, adding a holiday backdrop to the emergency-room drama.
