Here’s a PSA for everyone preparing to tune into The Pitt Season 2 finale tonight: Make sure you keep watching through the episode’s credits. The finale features the show’s first mid-credits sequence, in which Nick Fury approaches Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) about putting together a team of elite TV doctors.
I’m totally kidding — about the Nick Fury part, anyway. The Pitt’s mid-credits scene is very real, and it’s certainly worth sticking around for. No spoilers for what the scene actually entails, but I will say it’s less of an MCU-style teaser of what’s to come in Season 3, and more of a cathartic button to Season 2. And after 15 hours of trauma cases and tense staff drama, you’re going to want all the catharsis you can get.
That being said, if you want a teaser for Season 3, you’re in luck. At PaleyFest LA, Wyle and The Pitt creator R. Scott Gemmill revealed key elements about what’s next for the series, including when it would take place. “It will be pre-Thanksgiving, moving into colder weather,” Wyle told USA Today at PaleyFest. “The holidays are approaching. The weather’s changing. People are turning on their heaters for the first time.”
Wyle added the next season would be “explosive,” which won’t do anything to soothe my worries about The Pitt’s staff’s mental well-being. But in the meantime, the Season 2 mid-credits scene offers a sweet balm for that anxiety.
The Pitt Season 2 finale premieres Apr. 16 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO Max.
