We're scrubbing in for The Pitt season 3 — and the news was announced before The Pitt season 2 even premiered! HBO's Casey Bloys announced that the medical drama would return for a third season on January 7, 2026. This is the best news for TV fans because it solidifies two things: shows with more than eight episodes can be successful, and weekly releases are so back.
I'm more of a fan of weekly episodes, rather than binge drops, because spending 15 weeks with the same characters gets you more attached to them, and gives you plenty of time to bond with other fans in between episodes. And considering the renewal, and all the Emmy buzz, I'm not the only one that thinks that.
Here's everything we know so far about The Pitt season 3, coming to HBO Max soon. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to release!
Will there be a season 3 of The Pitt?
Yes, The Pitt season 3 is coming to HBO Max! We don't know exactly what the shift will cover, but considering season 2 is all about the Fourth of July weekend, I'd definitely be interested in seeing another holiday weekend.
Where can I watch The Pitt season 3?
