"The Pitt" is following up the success of its debut season with a second that addresses President Trump's recently passed "big, beautiful bill," whose cuts to Medicaid could affect millions of people.

Americans will be uninsured in 2034 due to President Trump’s new tax law, according to a Congressional Budget Office forecast.

Last month, President Trump signed into law the “Big Beautiful Bill,” which includes a 12% cut to Medicaid spending. For Season 2, the creative team has relied on their calls with hundreds of medical professionals to predict the immediate concerns for hospitals within the next year.

An estimated 1.3 million people in New York are at risk of losing their Medicaid coverage in the next decade due to Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill."

Executive producers of "The Pitt" plan to feature President Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" and Medicaid changes in the Pittsburgh hospital drama's upcoming second season.

"The Pitt" Season 2 will continue to tackle real-world topics in healthcare including cuts to Medicaid spending imposed by President Donald Trump.

S eason 1 of Max’s new hit series The Pitt officially concluded with a satisfying finale this spring, but fans can relax: The show has already been renewed for season 2. The show premiered in January and has catalogued every hour in a very dramatic shift at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital.
