2025 has been the year of The Pitt.

HBO Max’s medical drama featuring Noah Wyle has captured viewers week after week with its intense real-time format. It garnered 13 Emmy nominations and on Aug. 20, it triumphed at the Television Critics Association Awards, winning Program of the Year, Outstanding Achievement in Drama, Outstanding New Program, and Individual Achievement in Drama for Wyle.

Now, HBO Max has unveiled a teaser trailer for the upcoming second season of The Pitt, which is set to debut this January. From the looks of it, Season 2 promises to be just as intensely thrilling as Season 1.

The Pitt is undergoing significant changes as it enters Season 2. The series does not continue immediately after the conclusion of Season 1, but instead skips 10 months ahead to a new scenario on July 4. How many firework-related and barbecue injuries do you think will arise?

The cast of The Pitt has also experienced some changes. Tracy Ifeachor, who portrayed Dr. Collins, will not be returning to the show. Meanwhile, a new doctor will be joining the emergency department: Dr. Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi), an attending physician who originally came from the VA hospital. Additionally, expect to see new residents and interns becoming part of the ensemble due to the time leap.

Aside from Ifeachor’s exit, the majority of The Pitt‘s primary cast is poised to come back. This includes Patrick Ball as Dr. Langdon, who was expelled from the ED by Dr. Robby (Wyle) after his drug theft was uncovered.

To witness the remainder of The Pitt‘s team return to their roles, watch the full teaser above.

The Pitt Season 2 premieres this January on HBO Max. Season 1 is currently streaming on HBO Max.
