'The Pitt' Season 3 trailer drops as more cast additions are revealed

The third season of The Pitt isn't out until January, but a new teaser trailer for HBO Max's Emmy-winning medical drama was released on Friday, a day after more cast additions for the upcoming season were revealed.

The trailer shows star Noah Wylie's character, Dr. Robby, in the elevator on his first day back from a three-month sabbatical.

"I knew my first day back was gonna be hard dealing with what we go through here. And I knew that it could get a little bit crazy," he says in a dramatic voiceover. "But it's time to get back to it."

The series, which chronicles the challenges faced by health care professionals in the fictional emergency department of the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, was nominated for 25 Emmy Awards this year — the most of any show on television.

According to Deadline , seven new actors will join the Noah Wyle-led ensemble as recurring guest stars: Stephen Chang ( Bosch: Legacy , The Last of Us: Part II ), Barry Clifton ( The Madison , The Thing About Pam ), Chris Diamantopoulos ( Dark Matter , The Lincoln Lawyer ), Lawrence Kao ( Criminal , Walker: Independence ), Brent Sexton ( Deadwood , The Madison ), JB Tadena ( The Adventures of Cliff Booth , Kung Fu ) and Hannah Ware ( The First , The One ).

That follows last month's announcement of six new additions to the recurring cast: Pruitt Taylor Vince ( Superman ), Malachi Beasley ( A House of Dynamite ), Cheyenne Perez ( The Sex Lives of College Girls ), Jeremy Radin ( The Accountant 2 ), Charlz Williams ( Seal Team ) and Rosanny Zayas ( The L Word: Generation Q ).

They'll all join the returning cast of Wyle, Katherine LaNasa, Sepideh Moafi, Patrick Ball, Isa Briones, Shawn Hatosy, Taylor Dearden, Fiona Dourif, Shabana Azeez, Gerran Howell and Ayesha Harris.

Wyle told Deadline that Season 3 is "about doctors benefiting from being patients. We're going to see that [Robby has] begun the therapeutic road; it's had a positive effect. It's fragile, and it's not without risk and vulnerability, but … at least there's forward progress."

The show, which follows a real-time format, will take place on Nov. 12, 2026.

Wylie also said the weather in Pittsburgh, Pa., where the show is set, would be a factor.

"You sort of turn the corner into fall, and those temperatures drop," he said. "All sorts of different kinds of cases come through the doors when you've got slick roads: people turning on their boilers and their heaters for the first time, house fires, the homeless situation where people are out on the street and cold. The weather is a character this season, for sure."
