Delivering high quality, thoughtful stories that value production and character development, HBO has long been able to reel in viewers to their dramas and comedies.
With HBO Max taking that legacy into the streaming world, the platform has been able to bring the scale of the network into an entirely new space. Developing content that has been able to show off an intimate style of storytelling with high production value, HBO Max has been able to find its home among the masses when it comes to streaming content.
As 2025 was a big year for the streaming platform, HBO Max's biggest hit was irrefutable. Bringing prestige TV and medical drama into the same space, HBO Max was lucky to find itself the home of such an impactful series. Now, with The Pitt returning to the streaming platform in January 2026, viewers have a final chance to experience the series in a unique way.

Mixing grounded storytelling with the intensity of a hospital emergency room on the brink of collapse, The Pitt was able to capture global praise and become HBO Max's biggest show throughout its first season. Starring Noah Wyle as Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, the series follows a Pittsburgh hospital throughout each hour of an intense shift.
The show's format, giving insight into its cases with its real-time concept, makes for a great, high-stakes look into the emergency room setting. The intensity of The Pitt, which comes from the minds of ER producers R. Scott Gemmill and John Wells, is a masterclass, allowing its writers, cast, and crew to shine with what they do best.
