Thursdays? Nah...more like The Pitt Season 2 days!

The Pitt Season 2 sticks to a really simple release schedule, and it has a steady weekly roll-out. Episode 1 of Season 2 will be released on January 8 at 9 p.m. ET, and from there on out, new episodes will be released every Thursday without missing out on a single week.

For this season, there are a total of 15 episodes, which means that the ride for Season 2 moves right up until April 2026. And honestly, it is a long run for one season, especially in a time where episodes on streaming barely hit 7-8 episodes per season. The 9 p.m. timing also feels pretty accurate and fit for everyone who has been eagerly waiting to stream Season 2 of their favorite show.

As far as the cast is concerned, Season 2 stars Noah Wyle as Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, Sepideh Moafi as Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi, and Katherine LaNasa as Dana Evans.
