The Pitt: Shawn Hatosy Offers Filming Update on "Exciting" Season 2

Shawn Hatosy offered an update on how things are looking with HBO Max's The Pitt Season 2 filming-wise during the Emmy Awards red carpet.

A week after taking home the hardware for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for his turn as Dr. Jack Abbot during last weekend's Creative Arts Emmy Awards, Shawn Hatosy is on hand to support EP John Wells and series creator/showrunner R. Scott Gemmill's Noah Wyle-starring and executive-producing medical drama The Pitt during tonight's 77th Emmy Awards. Of course, an event of this nature comes with a very active red carpet – and that's where Hatosy offered a quick update on how things are cooking with Season 2. "It's exciting. There's a lot of surprises that  I think that fans are really going to enjoy," Hatosy shared with Variety, adding that they're just about to wrap the seventh episode of the second season and start work on the eighth episode.

Here's a look at what Hatosy had to share about Season 2, his Emmys win last weekend, and the cast's pre-Emmys party bus:

The Pitt Showrunner R. Scott Gemmill on New Attending, July 4th

Speaking with EW, Gemmill had some fascinating insights into the hit streaming series to offer, with the interview confirming that Season 2 will hit HBO Max screens in January 2026. In terms of the time frame, the showrunner also confirmed that the second season will take place 10 months after the end of the first season, and will cover a 15-hour shift over the course of July 4th.

"It was really driven by wanting to have the Langdon character back and knowing how much time he would've had to spend in rehab and going through his recovery process. We knew it had to be about 10 months, [which] took us into the summer. We played Labor Day, essentially, for the first season, so we decide to play this on the 4th of July," Gemmill shared, explaining how the time jump would allow Dr. Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball) to be back on our screens. With the season set during Dr. Langdon's first day back from rehab for drug addiction, it will be interesting to see his first one-on-one with Wyle's Dr. Robby and how the rest of the shift reacts to his return.

Gemmill also shared some backstory on Dr. Al-Hashimi (Black Bird and Generation Q: The L Word star Sepideh Moafi), a new attending who previously Dr. Mel King (Taylor Dearden) and Dr. Samira Mohan (Supriya Ganesh) at the VA Hospital. "She's gonna be someone who's very progressive in her approach to medicine and believes in the modernization of the medical field," the showrunner shared. "And Robby's a little bit more old school, and there'll be a little bit of, let's just say, tension as they try and figure out how to work together." Gemmill added, "Robby has a very specific way of how he likes to run his emergency department, and Dr. Al-Hashimi has her own specific ways of how she likes to run an emergency department, and they're not necessarily cohesive."
