HBO‘s hit medical drama The Pitt has come to another dramatic conclusion, leaving fans wanting more from these Pittsburgh doctors.
The latest season followed our beloved doctors through a shift in the Pittsburgh emergency room on the Fourth of July, where they dealt with an abandoned baby, a case of possible child abuse and more. All throughout the season, unbeknownst to his colleagues, Noah Wyle‘s Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch has been battling demons of his own as he’s buckled under the weight of suicidal ideation, affecting how he’s treated his fellow doctors on this final day ahead of his sabbatical.
** Major spoilers for The Pitt Season 2 finale below!**
The Pitt Season 2 finale also ended with a major blowout between Dr. Robby and Dr. Al-Hashimi when he threatens to reveal her condition to the board, which could mark the end of her career. Dr. Al-Hashimi rightfully calls Dr. Robby out for his lack of empathy and his control issues, perfectly articulating the noticeable shift viewers have noticed from the sympathetic and likable doctor they first met in Season 1.
The Pitt cast includes series star and executive producer Noah Wyle, Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa, Supriya Ganesh, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell, Shabana Azeez and Sepideh Moafi.
The series has become an awards magnet for HBO. Season 1 earned a whopping 13 Emmy Award nominations and five wins, which bodes well for Season 2. But, after that dramatic sendoff for Dr. Robby, will be there Season 3 of The Pitt?
Is there a Season 3 of The Pitt?

Yes! There will be a new season of The Pitt. The show was renewed for a third season before Season 2 premiered. However, the emergency room will look quite different in Season 3.
Ganesh, who plays Dr. Mohan on The Pitt, will be exiting the series after Season 2. Ayesha Harris, who plays night shift’s Dr. Parker Ellis, has been upped to a series regular ahead of Season 3. Variety reports “Ganesh’s exit is a story-driven decision,” according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
Harris wrote on social media that Dr. Ellis will be “pulling a double shift next season.”
“So excited ya’ll!!” she wrote at the time. “Bittersweet I won’t be working with my girl @supriyaganesh_.”
Wyle teased The Pitt Season 3 will explore what Dr. Robby’s “rock bottom looks like,” adding that the doctor will likely “go away and do some serious evaluations,” per Deadline.
When does Season 3 of The Pitt start and when is The Pitt Season 3 coming out?
Executive producer and director John Wells confirmed The Pitt Season 3 will reportedly begin filming this June, which puts it on track to premiere next January around the same time as Season 2. The Pitt Season 1 and 2 followed a similar filming/release schedule.
Wells confirmed the new season will also have 15 episodes.
The Pitt is streaming now on HBO Max.
