The Pitt Season 2 Exciting New Details

MAX‘s epic new medical drama The Pitt has already been confirmed for season 2. Just days after the season finale, new details are already trickling out about Langdon, the Fourth of July, cast changes, and what’s in store for our favorite head nurse.

The Pitt is about the staff of an underfunded and understaffed Pittsburgh emergency room as they struggle to make it through their shift. Each episode is one hour of a 15-hour shift under the leadership of Dr. Robby Robinavitch (Noah Wyle).

The season wrapped up last Thursday, a frantic shift coming to an end when the day shift staff was finally permitted to go home after a mass casualty event.

Wyle, series showrunner R. Scott Gemmill, and executive producer Noah Wyle confirmed at Deadline’s Contender TV panel that season 2 will air over the Fourth of July weekend.

The finale also saw Dr. Robby Robinavitch and Dr. Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball) duke out over the revelation that the latter had been stealing prescription meds from the hospital. Langdon begs for a second chance, but things get heated, and nothing is resolved.

So is this it for him? Will Langdon lose his license over this?

Well, Gemmill revealed that this choice is for where they want the story to go. Season 2 will showcase Langdon’s first day back at work post-rehab.

He told TVLine during a sit-down interview, where Wyle and Wells were also in attendance.

But that is not the only unresolved link in the chain; there’s also a matter of charge nurse Dana Evans (Katherine LaNasa), who a disgruntled patient attacked. She dropped hints that this shift might be “it” for her, honestly thinking about walking away from her 30-year career as a nurse.

It would be sad to lose a character so quickly after we’ve started to love her. However, Gemmill admitted that while they wanted to be realistic to someone in that situation, we haven’t seen the last of her.

ignoring all the foreshadowing of dana quitting bc i simply cannot deal with that and don’t want to acknowledge it #thepitt pic.twitter.com/Zd2d3g8oah

In the last few episodes of the season, audiences were introduced to the night shift team and instantly fell in love with them. Fans have been chattering, hoping to see more of them next season.

I hope there is. The cast and crew of The Pitt are excited about the changes in staffing that a Fourth of July shift will bring, as well as potential new characters, Gemmill reports. “So we’ll see everybody, for the most part, and some people might be working different hours and different shifts, but it’s pretty much the same crew.”

Season 2 of The Pitt is currently in production and aiming to premiere next January, a year after their first.

All episodes of The Pitt are available to stream on MAX.
