What is the Plot?
Season two of The Pitt will follow the emergency staff ten months after season one’s gripping finale and will have the same real-time 15-hour shift structure.

It has been reported that the second season will occur on the Fourth of July Weekend.
The show’s creator R. Scott Gemmill, recently told Vulture, “There’s fireworks. Somebody doesn’t do so well at the hot dog eating contest. Somebody’s sunburned. You can see all the cases wandering in.”
Plus, it will follow on from Langdon receiving treatment at a rehab facility. Gemmill said, “I think we will pick up on Langdon’s first day back at work… Thirty days is probably the minimum he would have to do. You can do 60, 90…”
