HBO Max has released the official trailer and key art for season two of The Pitt, the Emmy-winning hospital drama starring Noah Wyle, ahead of its January 8 premiere.

Created by R. Scott Gemmill and produced by John Wells Productions, the series returns with a 15-episode second season that will roll out weekly through April 16. Set in a modern Pittsburgh hospital, The Pitt continues its grounded portrayal of frontline healthcare workers navigating systemic strain, moral dilemmas, and high-stakes emergencies.

The show arrives for its sophomore run after a strong awards showing for its debut season, which earned 13 Emmy nominations and five wins, including Outstanding Drama Series and acting honors for Wyle and Katherine LaNasa. The success positioned The Pitt as one of HBO Max’s breakout dramas of 2025, particularly resonating with audiences drawn to realistic medical storytelling in the post-pandemic era.

Season two also expands accessibility efforts, with episodes streaming simultaneously in American Sign Language, and continues its companion podcast offering that blends episode discussion with real-world medical context.
