During Chicago Med season 11, the show reached an incredible milestone when its 200th episode aired. While that is a stunning achievement for the series that everyone involved should be proud of, the fact remains that the show isn't a critical darling. Instead, most of the show's stars have been ignored at awards shows, aside from Oliver Platt, who has gotten more recognition because he starred in Chicago Med and The Bear at the same time.
Unlike Chicago Med, there is another medical drama that has received nearly universal praise and many trophies since that show premiered in 2025. In addition to being nominated and winning a seemingly endless array of awards, that series is now set to earn even more fans since it will soon be available to be watched in a new way.
The Pitt will begin airing on TNT starting in December 2025
Between January and April 2025, the 15 episodes of The Pitt's first season aired on HBO Max. A truly stunning show that depicts the reality of working in an ER in a way that no other show has, the medical drama quickly became a sensation. That has left many viewers who loved The Pitt's first season very excited about the coming weeks, since season 2 reportedly will premiere on HBO Ma in January 2026.
Before new episodes of The Pitt begin airing in the coming weeks, it turns out that the show will have a huge opportunity to attract a legion of new viewers. That is because it was announced on November 10, 2025, that The Pitt season 1 will begin airing on TNT in December 2025. The acclaimed show premiering on a basic TV channel is a huge deal since that will allow many people who don't subscribe to HBO Max to have their first chance to watch the fantastic series.
The Pitt will air uncensored on TNT
As anyone who has watched The Pitt already should know, one of the things that makes the series remarkable is that it contains an unflinching depiction of the realities of what happens in hospital ERs. As a result, the show's first season featured both nudity and the aftermath of grisly injuries. While many series and movies feature that kind of content for gratuitous reasons, those aspects of The Pitt are integral to the show's storytelling. With that in mind, it would be upsetting if The Pitt was censored before it lands on TNT in December.
Fortunately, for anyone who will watch the medical drama on TNT in the coming months and wants to see the show remain intact, it has been revealed that The Pitt will air in its full form on the basic cable TV channel. Still, that means anyone who is considering watching the much-talked-about series on TNT should be aware of how intense The Pitt can be, especially if they have children they want to shield from that kind of content.
