The Pitt coming to the UK
Good news for all the fans in the UK!! We finally have when you’ll be able to see this amazing show! Check out this article by tech radar below!!
"Surely we're getting HBO Max over here soon... right?" is a sentence I've said at least once a month for the last few years. Thankfully, I needn't bore people with this question no more, as it's just been confirmed that HBO Max is officially launching in the UK in March 2026.
Sure, that's still three months away, but I'm all for a bit of healthy anticipation. While US fans have had access to all of the streamer's content without any issues, UK fans have been watching shows through Sky TV thanks to their continuing partnership.
The Gilded Age, The Last of Us and The White Lotus are just some of the titles we've been able to access via Sky, albeit episodes release a full day after they've debuted in the States. Even with HBO Max launching separately, the Sky partnership will be extended until early 2026.
Sky has offered UK viewers access to all the big hitters... well, all except this essential one. Breakout medical drama The Pitt is undeniably one of the best shows of 2025. With season 2 debuting on January 8, 2026, that means we're just over a month away from new episodes without season 1 ever touching down in the UK.
From March, that's finally about to change, and I need you all to make it your first priority binge once we've all got our HBO Max subscriptions.
Even though the UK is almost a year behind, The Pitt is still in a league of its own. With an entire season taking place over the course of a single day's shift, we follow the team at an emergency room in Pittsburgh (known as "The Pitt") as they deal with an influx of cases.
We've got veteran staff led by the complex and broken Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle), we've got fresh-faced medical students, and we've got patients will a vast array of issues, including ones who don't actually want to be there.
It essentially feels as though we're watching drama unfold in real-time, and the intensity never lets up. In fact, by the time we get to episode 12, the storylines reach unprecedented levels of stress (and that's putting it mildly, without any spoilers).
The fact that so many simultaneous storylines can be explored in a way that feels both high stakes and accessible is a testament to just how good the craft of The Pitt is. All of its cylinders are always firing, capturing the frenetic energy of its location while never compromising on what a fictional narrative needs to succeed.
And that's all before the epic performances. It's no surprise that almost all of The Pitt's main cast were Emmy nominated this year, and I don't think we should expect that to stop as The Pitt season 2 approaches.
