As it turns out, fans won’t have to wait too much longer for the second season, as the streamer has now released a teaser for The Pitt season 2. And as one might expect, it’s incredibly tense, bloody, and traumatic.<\/p>\n Check it out:<\/p>\n Viewers of The Pitt season 1 will recognize actor Patrick Ball’s embattled Dr. Frank Langdon, who was revealed as struggling with substance abuse allegations, though he seems to now be a paramedic rather than an ER doctor.<\/p>\n While the first season dealt with the gruesome aftermath of a violent mass shooting at a music festival, the second season, which also follows a full 15 hour hospital shift with each episode representing an hour of real time, will take place over a fourth of July weekend, 10 months after the events of the first season.<\/p>\n The Pitt became a breakout hit with both critics and fans thanks to its tense interpersonal drama and its frank treatment of themes of PTSD, adolescent violence, the mistreatment of disabled patients and non-white patients, and other real world issues faced by hardworking ER doctors.<\/p>\n ER alum Noah Wyle headlines The Pitt as Dr. Michael ‘Robbie’ Robinavitch, the longsuffering leader of the emergency room at the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center hospital.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
