The Pitt season 2 premiere introduces new attending Dr. Al-Hashimi

Collider reports that The Pitt's Season 2 premiere, '7:00 A.M.,' opens at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center during a chaotic Fourth of July shift and introduces Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi) as the attending who will replace Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch while he takes a three-month sabbatical.

The episode follows Robby arriving for his shift and immediately clashing with the by-the-book Al-Hashimi over who should lead cases. Returning and new staff include Dr. Frank Langdon back in triage, Dana Evans returning from time off, med students James Ogilvy and Joy, and nurse Emma Nolan. The ER handles multiple crises: an abandoned baby found in a bathroom, a possible abused child whose urine sample shows blood, a nursing-home death, and Dr. Melissa King's malpractice deposition; staff also train using the code word 'hula-hoop' for threats.

'7:00 A.M.' is listed with a January 9, 2025 release on Max, with R. Scott Gemmill as showrunner and creator and Amanda Marsalis directing. The episode ends with Al-Hashimi freezing after seeing something while checking the abandoned baby, and several questions remain open—how the new doctors will fare, whether Langdon is fully back as a doctor, and Robby's mental state.
