After a grueling 15-hour shift, season 2 of HBO’s hit medical drama “The Pitt” ended this week.

Although an exact release date has yet to be announced, HBO CEO Casey Bloys told Deadline in November 2025 that he hopes to release season 3 in January 2027, as he believes an “annual return” is important to the success of the series. Bloys prediction will likely come true, as showrunner R. Scott Gemmill confirmed season 3 will start filming in June 2026.
