i miss my doctor. she's not gone or anything - just moving from night shift to day. and i'm here without her on my screen on thursday nights

leopards got filling. it’s cheetah 2.0. Cheetah on meth. look at that leopard shit. 

then there’s jaguar. Jaguar is madness. it took leopard print & decided wait. what if–MAW DOTS. it’s just leopard print with dots in the middle, it’s chaos

look at this bullshit

i’m angry just looking at it

so in ascending order: Cheetah < Leopard < Jaguar

Last updated: April 16, 2026. This timeline of The Pitt will be updated with new information as people will hopefully correct me and add to this! Notes explaining general calculations (confirming season 1 is set in 2025, the birth year of characters, the general timeline I used for medical school to emergency medicine residency) are beneath the cut.

Date - Event

1948 - Montgomery Adamson is born (S1E01, plaque on memorial wall).

1982/1983* - Cassie McKay is born (S1E01, “42-year-old R2”).

1985/1986 - Baran Al-Hashimi is born (S2E14, “40-year-old”)

1992/1993 - Dana Evans begins working at the Emergency Department at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center (PTMC) (S1E08, “32 years”).

September 1995 to July 1996 - Samira Mohan is born (on Twitter, Supriya Ganesh says the writers and her decided Mohan is 29 in season 1 [link]; in a panel interview Ganesh says “[Mohan is] 30 in season 2” [link]).

October/November 1998 - Trinity Santos is born (S1E06, she tells Yolanda Garcia her star sign is Scorpio; the first draft of the script for the first episode [link] says she is 26. Assuming that her starting age is 26 and that season 1 is set in September, her birthday hasn't passed yet, and she would be born in 1998).

July 7th, 2005 - Victoria Javadi is born (S1E01, “I’m 20”; S2E01, “Your birthday is next Tuesday?”, the Tuesday after July 4th)

By August 2005 - Michael Robinavitch completed his residency program at Big Charity Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana (S1E09). While the timeline between then and his arrival at PTMC is unclear, the hospital closed following Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. Therefore, Robinavitch would have left the hospital in 2005 at the latest.

2007/2008 - Jake Malloy, Robinavitch’s stepson, is born (S1E05, “I’m 17”).

2008/2009 - Mohan’s dad dies when she is 13 (S1E05).

September 2013 to July 2014 - Harrison Ashcroft, McKay’s son, is born (S1E02, “he’s 11 now”; S2E05, “my son’s 12”).

March/April 2016 - McKay gets sober (S1E05, “9 years, 5 months, and 11 days”).

2018 - Javadi attends college and later medical school at the University of Pittsburgh (S1E10, “go to college at 13”).

May 12, 2020 - Al-Hashimi was working at Médecins Sans Frontières's (MSF) maternity wing in the Dasht-e-Barchi hospital when a mass shooting occurred and 24 people were killed (S2E07).

Before September 2020 - In a flashback set in 2020 when Adamson’s health was declining because of COVID-19, Mohan is pictured in a photo at his bedside (S1E07, Robinavitch and Perlah Alawi are also pictured). This may be an error in using a picture of the cast, but if accurate, this implies Mohan attended medical school in Pittsburgh. At the latest that this photo could have been taken (at PTMC in early 2020), Mohan would have been in her first year of medical school.

September 2020 - Adamson dies during the COVID-19 pandemic after 17 days on ECMO.

September 2020 to July 2021 - Tanner Langdon, Frank Langdon’s son, is born (S1E02, “four-year-old”; S2E04, “Tanner’s five now”).

July 2021 - John Shen begins his first year of the emergency medicine residency program at PTMC** (S1E12, “still a resident three months ago”).

July 2022 - Heather Collins, Langdon, and Parker Ellis begin their first year of residency.

2022/2023 - Penny Langdon, Langdon’s daughter, is born (S2E04, “Penny’s three”).

July 2023 - Mohan and Crus Henderson begin their first year of residency.

July 2024 - McKay and Melissa King begin their first year of residency.

July 2025 - Shen becomes an attending physician in emergency medicine. Collins, Langdon, and Ellis begin their fourth year of residency. Mohan and Henderson begin their third year of residency. McKay and King begin their second year of residency. Santos begins her first year of residency.

August 2025 - Dennis Whitaker does an internal medicine rotation in PTMC (S1E15). He is in his fourth year of medical school. Javadi is in her third year of medical school at the University of Pittsburgh*** (S1E01).

September 2025 - This is when season 1 takes place (S1E06, Shelby Adamson’s thank you note says “five short years ago” was Adamson’s death, which occurred in 2020). After two months at a Veterans Affairs hospital, King begins her residency at PTMC and is in her second year (S1E01). Santos begins her intern year at PTMC (S1E01).

December 31st, 2025 - Langdon gets sober (S2E15, “I’ve been sober 186 days”).

July 2026 - Season 2 is set on Saturday, July 4th, 2026, ten months after season 1. Al-Hashimi arrives at PTMC to cover for Robinavitch for his impending 3-month sabbatical. Collins take an attending physician position closer to Portland, Oregon. Ellis begins her unspecified emergency medicine fellowship. Langdon begins his fourth year of residency again. Mohan and Henderson begin their fourth year of residency. McKay and King begin their third year of residency. Santos begins her second year of residency. Whitaker and Nazely Toomarian become doctors and begin their first/intern year of residency. Javadi and James Ogilvie are in their fourth year of medical school. Joy Kwon is in her third year of medical school.

November 2026 - Season 3 is set in November 2026, four months after the events of season 2.
