Max announced today that The Pitt has been renewed for Season 2. The news comes midway through the medical drama's 15-episode freshman run. Since its January premiere, the series has been the streamer's most-watched title globally, while garnering positive reviews from critics.

"It's been a thrill to watch audiences embrace The Pitt as an update to procedural storytelling with a cast who authentically embody the heroics of doctors and nurses on shift in a 2025 emergency room," said Sarah Aubrey, Head of Max Original Programming. "Our collaboration with John Wells, R. Scott Gemmill, Noah Wyle and Warner Bros. Television has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and we are excited to continue down this path with another season."

"From its powerful stories to its realistic set and unique real-time format, The Pitt is truly a masterclass in storytelling - and it's all due to the talented team of executive producers and crew, and the incredible ensemble cast who truly embody the pace and pressure of a hospital emergency department," said Channing Dungey, Chairman and CEO, Warner Bros. Television Group and WBD U.S. Networks. "John, Noah, Scott and the team have so many more stories to tell, and we are thankful to our partners at Max for giving them the opportunity to do so."

The show stars Wyle as Dr. Robby, the chief attendant in Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital's emergency room. In each of his 15-hour shifts, he works alongside other frontline staff to help patients in the unpredictable and often-hectic environment.
