The Pitt Season 2 is coming to an end, but if you’re already hoping to head right back into the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, don’t worry. Unlike most streaming shows nowadays, The Pitt probably won’t take multiple years to come back for Season 3.

In an almost unprecedented move for the streaming age, there was just one year between The Pitt‘s Season 1 and Season 2 premieres. (Both came out in early January.) If the show follows the same production schedule as it did between Seasons 1 and 2, it’s highly likely that there will be a similar wait time for the next season, meaning viewers can expect Season 3 in early January of 2027.

Luckily, The Pitt does appear to be adhering to the same production schedule this time around. Ahead of The Pitt‘s PaleyFest LA event, creator R. Scott Gemmill told Varietythat Season 3 was set to begin filming this June. Filming for Season 2 kicked off in June of 2025, which tees Season 3 up for the same production timeline.

When will The Pitt Season 3 take place?

While viewers will have to wait a little under a year between seasons, far less time will pass between The Pitt Seasons 2 and 3. There were roughly 10 months between Season 1 and Season 2, which takes place on July 4, 2026. However, at PaleyFest, Wyle told USA Todaythat Season 3 would be taking place in November, meaning there will only be a four-month time jump between seasons.

“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.”

So get ready for mentions of The Pitt crew’s family drama heading into Thanksgiving, as well as potential cold weather accidents. Whatever happens, I’m ready for Thanksgiving in January of 2027.

The Pitt Season 2 is now streaming on HBO Max.
