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.
