The Pitt Season 2 Premise, Time Jump and Premiere Month Confirmed — Plus, Who Is (and Is Not) Returning
Casting News: Outlander Star Joins The Forsytes, Rings of Power Adds Trio and More
Though Max is not disclosing specific character information, our sister site Deadline is reporting that Baker will play an unhoused patient; Choi and Iverson have been cast as third- and fourth-year medical students, respectively; and Hollard will assume the role of a recent nursing school graduate. All four are recurring.
The Pitt Season 2 began production in Los Angeles on June 5 for a targeted January 2026 premiere. Prior to its return, all of Season 1 will air on basic cable network TNT.
You can watch (or rewatch) our finale Q&A with Wyle below:
As TVLine previously reported, Season 2 will pick up roughly 10 months after the events of Season 1, on 4th of July weekend, as Robby (played by TVLine Dream Emmy nominee Noah Wyle) is in the midst of 'getting himself mentally healthy again.' That will coincide with Dr. Frank Langdon's first day back at work after agreeing to go to rehab.
The time jump will also facilitate changes in hospital hierarchy: 'Because it will be July, everyone has been promoted or graduated to the next level,' series creator R. Scott Gemmill told TVLine. 'For instance, Whitaker will be an intern next year — so, finally, his character will be getting paid.' Javadi, meanwhile, 'is going to be doing a sub-internship, and we find out that maybe that's just her stalling because she doesn't want to make up her mind about where she wants to go.'

Power Prequel About Young Ghost and Tommy Gets Series Order at Starz
You can't keep a good Ghost (or a bad one, for that matter) down. The character played by Omari Hardwick in Starz's Power will live again in the prequel series Power: Origins, which the network officially ordered to series Tuesday. More from TVLine The new drama will follow Ghost and his best friend, Tommy (played by Joseph Sikora in the original series and Power Book IV: Force), 'as ambitious young entrepreneurs on the rise, determined to make their mark on the streets of New York City,' the official logline reads. 'A fun, rambunctious exploration of a new time period in the Power franchise, Power: Origins will highlight the unbridled audacity of young men on the rise, determined to become legends in the game.' ADVERTISEMENT MeKai Curtis, who plays the titular young Kanan Stark in the prequel Power Book III: Raising Kanan, will reprise that role in the new series, as well. Power: Origins' Season 1 will consist of 18 episodes. Starz announced it was developing the series in March 2024. Raising Kanan executive producer Sascha Penn will serve as showrunner, writer and EP on the new series. 'Ghost and Tommy's backstories have fueled years of constant fascination and speculation among fans, and I'm thrilled to be able to answer some long-held questions and share new layers of the story that viewers won't see coming,' Penn said via statement. The Power Universe as a whole is executive-produced by Courtney A. Kemp, the creator and showrunner of the original Power, Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson and Mark Canton. Lionsgate Television will produce. Origins will be Power's fourth offshoot. It was preceded by Power Book II: Ghost, which centered on Ghost and Tasha's son, Tariq, and aired its series finale in 2024; the aforementioned Raising Kanan, which will end with its upcoming fifth season; and Power Book IV: Force, which follows adult Tommy's exploits in Chicago and which will end with its upcoming third season.

Shrinking Season 3: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
If you're as hooked on Shrinking as we are, you're probably counting down the days until Season 3 hits Apple TV+. This comedy-drama, dreamed up by Jason Segel, Bill Lawrence, and Brett Goldstein, has a knack for making you laugh one minute and tear up the next. It follows therapist Jimmy Laird (Segel) as he shakes up therapy with his no-filter style while wrestling with personal loss. After Season 2 left us with all the feels, let's dive into what's brewing for Shrinking Season 3—release date hints, cast news, and what's next for our favorite characters. When Can We Expect Shrinking Season 3? Advertisement Apple TV+ hasn't dropped an official premiere date yet, but we've got some tea to spill. The show got the green light for Season 3 on October 17, 2024, hot on the heels of Season 2's debut. Filming started in mid-February 2025 in Pasadena and Altadena, California, despite some wildfire drama in the area. Looking back, Season 2 wrapped filming in June 2024 and hit screens in October 2024, so the production crew moves pretty fast—usually six to eight months from cameras rolling to premiere. My guess? Shrinking Season 3 will likely drop in late 2025 or early 2026, maybe around October 2025 to January 2026. The team's sticking to their schedule despite the challenges, which is awesome since they're supporting local communities hit by fires. Keep an eye on Apple TV+ for a trailer or official word on the release. What month are you betting on for the premiere? Drop your thoughts below! Who's Coming Back and Who's New in the Cast? The Shrinking cast is like a warm hug, and Season 3 is bringing back the gang with some shiny new additions. Here's who's hitting the screen: Jason Segel as Jimmy Laird Harrison Ford as Dr. Paul Rhoades Jessica Williams as Gaby Evans Lukita Maxwell as Alice Laird Michael Urie as Brian Luke Tennie as Sean Christa Miller as Liz Ted McGinley as Derek Brett Goldstein as Louis Cobie Smulders as Sofi Damon Wayans Jr. as Derrick #2 Fresh Faces Season 3 is upping the star power with some exciting newbies: Jeff Daniels Michael J. Fox Candice Bergen Isabella Gomez What's the Story for Season 3? The Shrinking creators have said they envisioned a three-season arc: Season 1 was about grief, Season 2 tackled forgiveness, and Season 3 is all about moving forward. Here's what we're expecting based on where Season 2 left off and the latest buzz: Jimmy's Next Steps Jimmy's still grappling with his wife's death, and Season 3 will dive into his relationship with his dad (Jeff Daniels). This could shed light on why he looks to Paul as a father figure. His uneasy connection with Louis, who's tied to the accident that changed Jimmy's life, will push him to find closure. And let's not forget Sofi (Cobie Smulders)—will Jimmy let himself fall for her, or is his heart still too heavy? I'm rooting for him to find some peace. Paul's Journey Harrison Ford's Paul is a fan favorite, and his Parkinson's storyline will take center stage. Michael J. Fox's role will likely bring a real, raw perspective to Paul's challenges, and I'm already bracing for some emotional scenes. Paul's bond with the group will keep him grounded as he faces what's next.

Savannah's Death & Co. Bar Is the New Spot to See and Be Seen
When Municipal Grand swung its doors on July 11, the hotel's eponymous lobby bar quickly packed with patrons thirsty for a taste of its much-anticipated beverage program — and the people it attracts. The debut came within two years after Midnight Auteur, a new hospitality group from the founders of Death & Co. and Denver's the Ramble Hotel, announced plans to reimagine the six-story, 1960s landmark into a cocktail-driven, 44-room destination. Municipal Grand's name is a clever nod to the past: the First Federal Savings and Loan Association, which operated from 1961 to 1989, later served as a City of Savannah workplace at 45 Abercorn Street. The preserved architecture, from terrazzo tiles to the bank vault, sets the tone for the midcentury modern-inspired interiors by AAmp Studio — the same firm behind Death & Co.'s bars in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. — in collaboration with Savannah-based Lynch Associates Architects and Ward Architecture + Preservation. Drink martinis or 'cheekies' at the bar. Kelly Calvillo By design, Municipal Bar is the city's best new spot to see and be seen, both in person and on Instagram. Anchoring the lobby is a curved, 14-seat bar surrounded by serpentine banquettes and low lounge seating. Although at street level, the entire floor feels like one big sunken conversation pit, thanks to an upper mezzanine level encasing the perimeter. The Municipal Bar's menu of shareable drinks and small plates further leans into its sociability. A 'Family Style' list of playful offerings encourages guests to start with banana daiquiri 'cheekies' — miniature renditions made with Wray & Nephew rum and served in port glasses for $8 per person. Or, patrons can 'Keep It Going' with espresso martini cheekies at $6 a pop. For a fancier pour, the $36 'Proper Martini Service' for two — inspired by London's Dukes bar — is served ice-cold with a choose-your-own-adventure selection of accouterments, plus the option to add a side of salty shoestring fries for an additional $5. Of course, there's also a full selection of regular-sized beverages, such as the neon-hued white Negroni (Terroir gin, Americano, and Gentian amaro), garnished with a juicy pineapple wedge. With a subtropical climate in mind, rum or mezcal concoctions — complete with crushed ice, crystal-clear rocks or frosted glassware — are heavenly for cooling off in Savannah's thick humidity. Ranging from $16 to $19, these are contemporary riffs on classics, expected given the Death & Co. association. The hotel also offers creative fare for brunch and dinner. Kelly Calvillo For the uninitiated, Death & Co. first opened by David Kaplan and Ravi DeRossi in the mid-aughts as an unassuming bar in Manhattan's East Village. The brand would become one of the world's most sought-after cocktail bars, with four locations in New York, Denver, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. With insatiable demand (parties still often wait hours to enter the flagship) came the spin-off concepts: in 2018, Kaplan launched the full-scale hospitality firm Gin & Luck with several partners, including Alex Day, who serves as chief operating officer. This branch is responsible for recent projects like Close Company in Las Vegas, Nashville, and soon, Atlanta. The expansion is fueled in part by investor funding through SeedInvest, an online equity crowdfunding platform. As the Death & Co. institution appears closer to cementing its status as a household name, some may wonder if this dilutes the brand's popularity or prestige. On the contrary, Midnight Auteur operates as a distinct entity—more of a cousin than a sibling. Joining Kaplan and Day in this venture is Ryan Diggins, the founder and operator of the Ramble Hotel in Denver, Colorado, where the second Death & Co. opened in 2018. The midcentury modern-inspired interiors are by AAmp Studio. Kelly Calvillo With this ownership team based across the country, they brought in Franck Savoy to lead Municipal Grand as general manager. The son of chef Guy Savoy, of Michelin-starred restaurants in France and Las Vegas, launched his career in fine dining alongside his father before moving on to roles at Shutters on the Beach in Santa Monica, California, Auberge Resorts, and most recently, Berg Hospitality Group in Houston, Texas. Joining Savoy is a mix of talent recruited to relocate to Savannah, like Death & Co. veteran Sam Penton as the director of outlets, as well as an all-star lineup of familiar faces from around the city. Helming the kitchen is executive chef Karim Elkady (formerly of Hotel Bardo, Southern Cross Hospitality, and Perry Lane) and executive sous chef Shannon Koprivich (also formerly of Southern Cross Hospitality), with Justin Stevenson (formerly of Husk Savannah) managing the front of house. Behind the bar, locals recognize James Nowicki and Sebastián Montero-Hernández, just to name a couple. Herein lies the true joy of a visit to Municipal Grand — the dynamite combination of the Hostess City's famed hospitality paired with Death & Co.'s gravitas. That, and food to back it all up. In the era of the aesthetic restaurant, when Instagrammability is weighted as highly as the quality of the food and service, Municipal Grand delivers on all three. Brunch at Municipal Grand. Kelly Calvillo Loaded with vibrant herbs and veggies, jewel-toned dishes are as colorful and refreshing as the cocktails and the artful vibe. Lunch standouts like the smoked salmon tartine, crispy chicken sandwich, and a mortadella roll, all served on Flora and Fauna bread. 'There's no club sandwich or Caesar salad. That's intentional,' says Savoy. This fall, the hotel will unveil its basement cocktail den, Hot Eye, decked out in red walls, blackened mirrors, and oxblood leather booths, just in time for the SCAD Savannah Film Festival. For a quieter experience, visit in the morning. The Carolina Gold rice porridge — a combination of currants, coconut, carrot, and pistachio that tastes like a cross between overnight oats and carrot cake — and a 'Fancy Omelet' (complete with a cheese pull) are well worth waking up early for. The Municipal Bar is open daily from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Access to the rooftop Sun Club is currently reserved for hotel guests.
