'The Pitt' season 2 episode 4 release date and time: here's when it's streaming on HBO Max

"The Pitt" season 2 episode 4 is inbound to HBO Max this week, and it looks to really start putting Robby (Noah Wyle) and co through the wringer. "9:00 A.M." ended with the news that The Pitt is due to get a huge influx of new patients, as nearby Westbridge Hospital had a "code black" incident.

Presumably, this is the start of the trouble hinted at in the season 2 trailer, where we heard Westbridge had shut down their computer systems — and then we saw The Pitt's start to go offline, too, as the team prepared to "go analog."

Here's the latest episode synopsis: "With a nearby hospital shuttered on the busiest day of the year, Robby and team must field extra patients, including the victim of a parkour mishap."

The preview teaser for "10:00 A.M." sets up friction between Dr. Al-Hashimi and Dr. Santos, plus more cases, including what could be a potentially devastating move from James Ogilvie. I'm no expert, but I'm sure you never want to hear the words "that looks arterial" in an ER.

Can't wait to check back in? Below, you can watch the teaser for "10:00 A.M." and find out when "The Pitt" season 2 episode 4 releases on HBO Max.

Despite the series's popularity, "The Pitt" still isn't streaming in the U.K., as Sky and its streamer NOW have been the regular home for the likes of "The White Lotus," "The Last Of Us" and "House of the Dragon," but not "The Pitt."

However, U.K. viewers may finally be able to get in on the acclaimed medical drama soon, as HBO Max is set to launch across the pond in March 2026.
