"The Pitt" season 2 is one of the most highly anticipated shows in years and won an army of fans with its innovative depiction of doctors and healthcare professionals attempting to get through the chaos of one day (each episode represents an hour) while navigating issues in their personal lives...

Here's how you can watch "The Pitt" season 2 online from anywhere with a VPN – and potentially for free.

'The Pitt' season 2 - Streaming details

"The Pitt" season 2 premieres on HBO Max in the U.S. on Thursday, January 8 at 9 p.m. ET.

• CAN — Crave

Dr Michael "Robby" Robinavitch (played by Noah Wyle) is the central character and it is his often strained relationship with his colleagues that drives the momentum of the show. This season, new doctor Baran Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi) is determined to introduce A.I. into the Emergency Dept. and, predictably enough, Robby has an issue with that.

The action is set on July 4th - cue firework accidents, alcohol-related trauma, over-enthusiastic celebrations gone wrong etc... - and just to add to the tension and drama the computers go down at precisely the worst time possible. As ever, the patients come first but "The Pitt" wouldn't be "The Pitt" if we didn't worry about the overworked staff.

Watch 'The Pitt' season 2 from anywhere in the world

If you're traveling overseas and "The Pitt" season 2 isn't airing where you're currently located, that doesn't mean you have to miss the show while you're away from home. With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream the show from wherever you are.

We've evaluated many options, and the best VPN you can get right now is NordVPN. It meets the VPN needs of the vast majority of users, offering outstanding compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds. You can try it risk-free for 30 days if you take advantage of NordVPN's no-quibble money-back guarantee.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're visiting the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select a U.S. server from the location list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the show. Head to your streaming service app — so Max, for example — and watch "The Pitt" season 2 online from wherever you are in the world.
