The Pitt season 3 release date rumours: HBO Max medical drama set in Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center will return - but when?
As The Pitt season 2 comes to an end, when is the third season set to hit screens? Possibly sooner than you think...
The second season of hit US show The Pitt is coming to an end - but fans keen to continue their journey with the medics at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center can rest assured - it will be back soon.
A massive hit for HBO Max, The Pitt has become a firm favourite among viewers in the US - and around the world - with cutting takes on the modern world seen through the eyes of staff at the hospital.
In an unusual move for streaming shows, there was only a year Between seasons one and two, giving fans a quick chance to resume their watching. And it looks like show makers are pursuing the same time frames ahead of season three - which could hit screens as early as January 2027.
Ahead of The Pitt's PaleyFest LA event, the show's creator, R Scott Gemmill, told Variety filming was set to begin on the next instalment of the show in June. And star Noah Wyle, who has won two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe for his work on the show, teased fans further, telling USA Today at PaleyFest season three would be taking place in November - even sooner than anticipated.
"It will be pre-Thanksgiving, moving into colder weather," Wyle said to USA Today. "The holidays are approaching. The weather's changing. People are turning on their heaters for the first time."
The Pitt first hit screens in January 2025, and has become a huge hit across the Atlantic, as viewers follow the ups and downs of staff and patients in the Emergency Room (ER) at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center.
Stars include Wyle as Dr Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, Tracy Ifeachor as Dr Heather Collins, Patrick Ball as Dr Frank Langdon, and Katherine LaNasa as Dana Evans.
How to watch The Pitt in the UK
The Emmy-award winning medical drama is now available to watch on UK screens but not to the same schedule as US viewers. While the final episode dropped state-side on Thursday (April 16), the show only landed on HBO Max in the UK on March 26.
All of the first season was available to watch straight away along with the first episode of season two. The show then airs new weekly episodes with the final episode of season 3 not dropping until July 3. So for fans over here, just be careful of any spoilers before then.
