As part of Warner Bros. Discovery, HBO Max primarily hosts and streams the company’s shows and movies to subscribers. Viewers can stream new episodes of House of the Dragon or The White Lotus on HBO Max after their linear premiere. The streaming platform also regularly adds new and older movies and TV shows to keep the library diverse. However, HBO Max also has exclusive TV shows and movies made specifically for the platform. It has seen success with shows like Peacemaker, The Sex Lives of College Girls, and Hacks. However, the streamer’s true hit is a 2-season procedural that is gearing up for another season at the beginning of next year.
This series was a hit right out of the gate with critics and viewers alike. On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season scored an impressive 94%, and the second was rated even higher at 99%. Warner Bros. Discovery reported that each episode was averaging 10 million viewers, and that number rose by over 50% when delayed viewing was factored in. The series benefited from word of mouth, recording episode-by-episode growth throughout Season 1. The second season saw even more viewership, racking up billions of streamed minutes. Nielsen reports that the series, titled The Pitt, has over 15 billion minutes (250 million hours) viewed to date.
Now the Noah Wyle-led series is gearing up for its third season, which is not expected until sometime in January 2027. HBO Max has not set the precise date yet. Cast members expected to return for the new season include Wyle (Dr. Robby), Patrick Ball (Dr. Langdon), Katherine LaNasa (Dana Evans), Fiona Dourif (Dr. McKay), Taylor Dearden (Dr. King), Isa Briones (Dr. Santos), Gerran Howell (Dr. Whitaker), Shabana Azeez (Javadi), Sepideh Moafi (Dr. Al-Hashimi), and Shawn Hatosy (Dr. Abbot). Supriya Ganesh will not return for Season 3, as her character’s natural arc comes to an end, while Ayesha Harris (Dr. Ellis) is being upgraded to series regular.

Gryffindor Tower · Scarlet & Gold
🦁 Gryffindor
You have nerve. Not the reckless kind, but the deep, quiet courage that shows up even when you’re terrified — especially then.
Gryffindors don’t act because they’re fearless — they act because they understand that some things are worth being afraid for.
You stand up for people when it would be easier to look away.
You charge toward what’s right even when the odds are terrible.
Harry, Hermione, Ron — the heroes of Hogwarts’s greatest chapter — all called the tower with the scarlet and gold home. And now, so do you.

Slytherin Dungeon · Emerald & Silver
🐍 Slytherin
You are driven, sharp, and utterly clear-eyed about what you want and how to get there.
Slytherin has long been misunderstood — painted as the house of villains when it is, at its best, the house of those who refuse to accept limits placed on them by others.
You are resourceful, strategic, and you play the long game.
You know your worth. You protect your own fiercely.
The dungeon common room with its view of the Black Lake is yours — and the ambitions that will take you further than anyone expects are yours too.

Hufflepuff Basement · Yellow & Black
🦡 Hufflepuff
You are the kind of person that makes the world genuinely better just by being in it.
Hufflepuff is not the “safe” house or the “leftover” house — it is the house of those with the greatest heart and the most unwavering integrity.
You show up. You work hard. You don’t need glory or recognition — you do what’s right because it’s right.
Your loyalty never wavers, even when tested.
Nymphadora Tonks, Cedric Diggory, Newt Scamander — some of the wizarding world’s finest. And now you join them.

Ravenclaw Tower · Blue & Bronze
🦅 Ravenclaw
Your mind is your greatest gift, and you’ve always known it.
Ravenclaws are the thinkers, the questioners, the ones who find a puzzle irresistible and a good book better company than most people.
Ravenclaw is not merely about intelligence — it’s about the love of learning, the pursuit of truth, and the rare courage to admit you don’t know something yet.
You see the world with unusual clarity and depth.
Luna Lovegood, Filius Flitwick, Rowena Ravenclaw herself — all extraordinary, all original. And so are you.

What Is ‘The Pitt’ Season 3 About?
The show is not departing from its formula in the new season. It’s a new shift, and chaos is on the horizon. Robby has been on a three-month sabbatical that many did not think he would return from. But he’s back, and it’s Thursday, November 12, 2026, the day after Veterans Day. The timeline deviates slightly as the show explores the past while looking at what the future holds as a result of the Big Beautiful Bill kicking into the healthcare system. But above all, The Pitt is a medical drama, so viewers can expect weekly cases that might break your heart and gross you out in the same episode.
