The hit medical drama The Pitt is back for a second season, but what songs are on the soundtrack this time around? Find out below.
Season one of the HBO Max show premiered in January last year and followed Noah Wyle’s Dr. Michael ‘Robby’ Robinavitch and his emergency room team at Pittsburgh’s Mercy Hospital as they navigated a hectic 15-hour shift in real time, tackling overdoses, heart attacks and personal struggles amid a strained healthcare system.
The second season launched last week (January 8), with subsequent episodes arriving weekly until the finale on April 16. While it is streaming on HBO Max in the US, it remains unavailable to watch legally in the UK, although both seasons are expected to debut when the UK incarnation of HBO Max launches in late March.
Check out the trailer for The Pitt season two here:
The show has been created by John Wells and R. Scott Gemmill of ER fame, and has been widely praised by critics for its relentless pacing and authenticity. Season two to date sites on a 99 per cent rating on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
It has already been renewed for a third season, while the first season won the Golden Globe for Best Television Drama Series and Best Actor for Wyle. It was also a big winner at the Emmys last year, picking up Outstanding Drama Series, as well as acting prizes for Wyle and Katherine LaNasa.
It was also named as one of NME’s best shows of 2025, noting: “Grisly emergencies, unruly patients, fresh interns, grief, PTSD and an uncomfortably realistic portrayal of all-too-familiar tragedies all came together to form one of the most intense and bingeable series in recent memory.”
Every song on The Pitt season two soundtrack
As with the first season, the new episodes feature an original score from composer Gavin Brivik, who was previously known for his work on How To Blow Up A Pipeline.
Last year, songs from the outside world occasionally creeped into the show, including tracks from Megan Thee Stallion and Edwin Starr, and already in the first episode of season two, there have been some needle drop moments.
The songs included in The Pitt season two so far are:
EPISODE ONE
The Clarks – ‘Better Off Without You’
Yvonne Fair – ‘Say Yeah Yeah’
EPISODE THREE
TunYCe – ‘Flowers’
EPISODE SIX
Andrew Bird – ‘Need Someone’
