It's been a year since our last trip to the emergency room, and the story picks up 10 months on. But when is The Pitt season 2 episode 1 on HBO Max?

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Be still my beating heart, or I'll be given an ECG. The Pitt season 2 is finally returning to the small screen almost a full year after its surprise success in early 2025.

In the HBO Max show, we're picking up 10 months after the events of season 1, with our unhinged day shift staff taking over for the Fourth of July weekend. Lead Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) is a lot more grounded than his emotional
breakdown in season 1, planning to leave for a three-month sabbatical after the holiday shift is over.

We've also got the return of Dr Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball), who was put on temporary suspension in season 1 after stealing patient drugs to satiate his hidden addiction. As for everyone else... well, they're being thrown from the fire into the metaphorical frying pan.

It's going to be chaos from the moment we return to the emergency room, but when is The Pitt season 2 episode 1 dropping on one of the best streaming services around? What time can I watch The Pitt season 2 episode 1 on HBO
Max?

The Pitt season 2 episode 1 drops on HBO Max on January 8, 2026, at 6pmPST/ 9pm EST. It's going to have the same weekly schedule, so you're tuning in for exactly the same time week on week.

Internationally, you're looking out for these timings: US 6pm PST / 9pm EST Canada 6pm PST / 9pm EST India 7:30pm IST Singapore 10am SGT Australia
1pm AEDT New Zealand 3pm NZDT

You'll notice that I've not included the UK here, and that's because HBO Max doesn't launch in the territory until March 2026.

The Pitt hasn't aired on NOW TV or Sky like other HBO shows such as The
White Lotus and The Gilded Age , so you'll have to wait until then to binge both seasons. When do new episodes of The Pitt season 2 come out? Robby and Dana will look this bemused again, I promise. (Image credit: HBO)
