when do the pitt episodes come out
New episodes of The Pitt come out on Thursdays, with a weekly release schedule on Max/HBO-style platforms in the evening U.S. time.
Season 1 schedule (2025)
For Season 1 (which ran in 2025), the pattern was:
- Two-episode premiere on Thursday, January 9, 2025.
- Then one new episode every Thursday at around 6 p.m. ET / 9 p.m. TV primetime, depending on whether you watched via live channel or streaming.
- All episodes represented consecutive hours in a single ER shift, spread over 15 episodes.
So if you’re catching up on Season 1, check Thursdays on Max/HBO’s schedule; that’s when episodes originally dropped.
Season 2 timing (2026)
For Season 2:
- Season 2 is set to premiere on Thursday, January 8, 2026, on Max/HBO (one year after the first season’s run started).
- It keeps the same weekly-Thursday model, with a planned run into April 2026 (finale mid‑April).
- Episodes are again expected to represent consecutive hours of an ER shift, this time around a Fourth of July weekend time jump.
If you’re in a different time zone, the rule of thumb is: look for new The Pitt episodes on Max/HBO on Thursdays in your local evening, starting January 8, 2026 for Season 2.
