HBO Max Season 2 Filming Underway for Popular New Show

HBO Max is getting ready for Season 2 of their hit show, The Pitt, by starting filming at Warner Bros. studio lot in Burbank, California. The show, a fast-paced medical drama, has been a huge success since its premiere in January, exploring the challenges faced by healthcare workers in the U.S. The second season is set to return in January 2026, and fans can expect the next shift at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center to take place over Fourth of July weekend.

What’s the secret to The Pitt’s success? Well, the lead creative team behind the show are all veterans of the medical drama series E.R. In fact, EP/Director John Wells, EP/Lead Actor Noah Wyle, and EP R. Scott Gemmill all worked on E.R., which explains the show’s realistic portrayal of life in a hospital. While there’s been some legal drama around similarities to E.R., the momentum of The Pitt continues to grow, with fans eagerly awaiting the next season.

Noah Wyle leads the cast of The Pitt, alongside Tracey Ifeachor, Patrick Ball, and more. Season 1 is currently available to stream on HBO Max, so if you haven’t caught up yet, now’s the perfect time to dive in and see what all the buzz is about. Stay tuned for more updates on Season 2 of The Pitt as filming continues and the premiere date approaches.
