It hasn't been difficult at all to lock into new episodes of The Pitt on Max. We might all be familiar with medical dramas by this point, but what sets The Pitt apart is that each episode covers one hour of a single night's shift — and this is basically the most intense shift of all time. And season 1, episode 14, "8:00 PM," ended with another major cliffhanger: Dr. McKay getting arrested for messing with her ankle monitor. We don't have to wait long to find out what happens to McKay, Whittaker, and Robby because The Pittseason finale airs next week!
Here's everything you need to know about how and when to watch The Pitt season 1 finale, airing on Max April 10, 2025.

What happened at the end of The Pitt episode 14?
Warrick Page/Max
The Pitt episode 14, "8:00 P.M." ended on quite the cliffhanger after the ER team was hard at work to help the victims of the Pitt Fest shooting. Because after her ankle monitor begins beeping during the mass influx of patients, Dr. McKay hijacks it — and ends up in handcuffs by the time the credits roll.
"Even filming it was humiliating, because it was this flood of remembering that you are not good enough," actress Fiona Dourif toldVariety. "And then very quickly it became rage at the situation and the injustice of it. Still the inner thread of it is that it was my fault. Mostly, it’s just utter humiliation that it is happening in front of everybody."

Will there be a season 2 of The Pitt?

Yes, The Pitt season 2 is coming to Max! “We’re excited and delighted with the audience response for our first season of THE PITT and can’t be more appreciative of our partners at Max and Warner Bros. Television for all of their extraordinary support throughout our first season," John Wells, R. Scott Gemmill, and Noah Wyle said in a statement.
Is The Pitt a sequel to ER?
Warrick Page/Max
The Pitt isn't officially an ER sequel (despite the fact lead actor Noah Wyle was on the 90s drama). However, members of the estate of late author Michael Crichton (who wrote the OG screenplay for ER) alleged The Pitt was created as a sequel, without their permission. And the estate sued the creators of The Pitt in August 2024, according to TODAY.
“The Pitt is ER. It’s not like ER, it’s not kind of ER, it’s not sort of ER. It is ER complete with the same executive producer, writer, star, production companies, studio, and network as the planned ER reboot," says the lawsuit. "No one has been fooled."
