If you followed the 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards from the UK, one of the most lauded shows of the night might come as a surprise. The Pitt – a medical drama set in a hospital in Pennsylvania, which examines the challenges facing healthcare workers in America – won Best Drama and is no doubt one of the most critically acclaimed new shows of the year, but it's unlikely anyone here has seen it.
That's not because it hasn't received any buzz or didn't resonate with UK audiences, but because it is not yet available to stream on this side of the pond. For those who can't wait to watch it, we recommend season one and two of Malpractice on ITVX, or This is Going To Hurt on iPlayer.
Where can I watch The Pitt in the UK?
The Pitt premiered in the US in January on HBO Max and the 15-part series ran until April. A UK release date for the series has not yet been confirmed, but it will hopefully become available on multiple streaming platforms next year.
Given that it aired on HBO, it's likely that when the show comes to the UK it will first be available on Sky and NOW TV.
What Emmys did The Pitt win?
The Pitt won Outstanding Drama Series, Noah Wyle won Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series and Katherine LaNasa won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
What is The Pitt about?
The medical drama is set in a hospital in Pittsburgh that is struggling financially and the action unfolds in real-time across one single, 15-hour shift. Each episode is dedicated to one of those hours.
Speaking about the show's unique format, star, writer and executive producer Noah Wyle said, 'What can you do in 15 hours? Is that enough time to fall in love or out of love? Is that enough time to find faith or lose faith? Is it enough time to find your life's calling or recognise that you're a fish out of water?
'That was the canvas that we got to play with. But ultimately, you can't do a days' worth of relationships in one 15-hour shift. Everything has to be somewhat grounded to the plausible if not the probable.'
Will there be a season two of The Pitt?
Yes, season two has already been announced, but a release date has not yet been confirmed.
