While most of the first season of "The Pitt" was filmed on a set in Burbank, California that looked like Allegheny General Hospital, the show spent three days filming in Pittsburgh last fall. Production for the show's second season is underway with additional filming in Pittsburgh taking place later this week.

The second season of "The Pitt" is expected to premiere in January 2026. Season 2 of the show is expected to again consist of a 15-hour day in the hospital's emergency department, , approximately ten months after the first season of the show ended.
