The Pitt season 2, what time it comes out tonight, and where to watch

HBO Max’s medical drama “The Pitt” is back with Season 2 tonight, Jan. 8, exactly one year after Season 1 first aired. Like Season 1, Season 2 has 15 episodes, and the full season shows one 15-hour ER shift, with each episode covering about one hour. Season 2 is set during the Fourth of July Weekend, about 10 months after the events of Season 1.

The story will show Dr. Langdon’s (Patrick Ball) first day back in the ER after he went for counseling and rehab for prescription painkiller addiction, as stated by NY Post. Dr. Langdon’s return happens on the same day as Dr. Robby’s (Noah Wyle) last ER shift before he leaves for a three-month sabbatical.
