Prestige medical drama hailed ‘finest example of the genre in more than a generation’ has big update

by

The medical drama The Pitt, known for its quality and starring Noah Wyle from ER, has announced four new actors for its upcoming second season. Luke Tennie, Travis Van Winkle, Meta Golding, and Christopher Thornton will be joining the cast.

So, the first season of this show basically drops you right into one crazy shift at a Pittsburgh hospital – each episode felt like a real-time hour, and it all happened during a huge music festival. I’m really excited because season two is coming out in January and it’s gonna be set during the Fourth of July weekend. Sounds like things are gonna be even more hectic!

As reported by Variety, Tennie, known for her role in Abbott Elementary, will play Dr. Crus Henderson, a fourth-year resident. Penn Badgley, from You, will portray Curtis Larson, a challenging patient.

Golding, known for his role in Ransom Canyon, will play the character of nurse Noelle Hastings. Thornton, from The Lincoln Lawyer, will play Dr. Caleb Jefferson, a psychiatrist.

For season two, the show will bring back cast members Patrick Ball, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Katherine LaNasa, Supriya Ganesh, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell, Shawn Hatosy, and Shabana Azeez, alongside returning star John Wyle.

Critics loved the first season of The Pitt, giving it a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 80 reviews.

According to The Atlantic, the first season is the best of its kind in over twenty years.

According to The Globe and Mail, this film is a captivating and deeply emotional experience, filled with intense, life-or-death moments.

Where can I watch The Pitt in the UK?

Even though the second season of the popular show is arriving in January, the first season still hasn’t been released in the UK.

We don’t have a confirmed UK release date yet, but it will probably become available when HBO Max launches in the UK and Ireland, which is expected soon.

HBO Max is planning to launch in the UK in March 2026, bringing popular shows to British audiences. According to Radio Times, one of those shows could be The Pitt.

For the first time, UK viewers will be able to watch HBO shows on a platform other than Sky. The service is expected to include hit dramas currently available on HBO Max, such as It: Welcome to Derry, House of the Dragon, The Last of Us, The White Lotus, and Euphoria.

You can watch The Pitt on Max in the US, but it’s not currently available for streaming in the UK.

Okay, so as a gamer, I usually spend Christmas playing games, but even I need a break sometimes! I just saw this Good Housekeeping Christmas TV Guide, and it sounds awesome.
