‘The Pitt’ Adds ‘Dexter’, ‘Chicago Med’, ‘Mayor of Kingstown’ and ‘Sons of Anarchy’ Stars to Season 2

Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center’s emergency room just got a lot more crowded.

Deadline reports that four new recurring guest stars have been added to the upcoming second season of The Pitt.

Season 2 of the Emmy-winning HBO Max drama is set to premiere in January, and will take place 10 months after the events of the Season 1 finale over Fourth of July weekend. Noah Wyle leads the ensemble cast and serves as executive producer. The series also stars Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa, Supriya Ganesh, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell, and Shabana Azeez.
