"When E! asked Shawn Hatosy whether his character, Dr. Jack Abbot, would still be on the night shift for Season 2 - or if he might get a better schedule - the actor wasn't quite sure what to say. "Uh... I don't know," he said. "He comes back in a very unexpected way, that's all I'll say." Sure, it's not the most specific hint."
"In a recent Reddit post, one fan wondered whether Abbot's "unexpected" entrance might entail him being a patient. Several commenters agreed with the possibility, with one offering: "He comes in as a patient for something serious but also innocuous and they're trying to keep him in his bed vs running around being a doctor." This would certainly be a creative running gag through Season 2, which, like the first season, will cover one shift hour per episode."
HBO Max medical drama earned critical acclaim and won multiple 2025 Emmy Awards. Season 2 is scheduled to arrive in January and continues the format of covering one shift hour per episode. Shawn Hatosy said Dr. Jack Abbot 'comes back in a very unexpected way,' without further specifics. Fans on Reddit theorized that Abbot might return as a patient, with commenters suggesting a serious but innocuous condition that would keep him bedridden rather than working. Season 2 takes place over the Fourth of July holiday, which could contextualize a veteran-related ER visit. Fans view the possibility as likely and intriguing.
