The Pitt season 2 teaser shows the return of Dr. Robby and the chaos at the medical centre

The teaser of The Pitt season 2 opens with the entry of Dr. Michael Robinavitch, a.k.a Robby. The exciting return of the character to the second season is highlighted in the teaser by a nurse, who mentions, "The prodigal son returns." The teaser then shifts to Dana Evans, suggesting her presence in the new installment as the first season's ending kept her return doubtful.

Directly delving into the high-risk atmosphere of the place, the teaser jumps into showcasing the returning characters, such as Dr. Victoria Javadi and Dr. Trinity Santos, who are handling tough medical cases.

Amidst the rush and chaos, Dr. Robby's entry marks the start of a thrilling season ahead as he mentions in the teaser, "And so it begins." The video also teases Dr. Langdon's return from rehab, some new faces, and plenty of risky cases that the viewers have yet to witness on the show.

The teaser ends by informing the viewers that the new season will commence from January 2026, the official date and other details of which are yet to be announced.
