In a post-finale interview, Gemmill confirmed that there will be approximately a four-month time jump to November (meaning more cold-weather-related injuries). “We wanted a shorter jump; less story has transpired in between seasons,” Gemmill shared. “We wanted to do cold weather because we hadn’t. We’ve done summer, and we did September [in season one], and we figured it’d be nice to do colder weather and what that brings into the ER and what sort of emergency situations change seasonally.”
As for how things were looking with Season 3, Wells shared during an interview in March that “the writers’ room opened up last week, and they’re at the end of their second week.” As for production, Wells added, “We will be back in production in June, and plan to be back on the air again the same week in January with 15 episodes next year.”
Wyle and Katherine LaNasa stopped by Warner Bros. Discovery’s Upfronts 2026 presentation in May to talk up the show’s return – and offer a bit more clarity on when Season 3 will take place. “We’re about to start production on Season 3. It’s set in early November, just before the holidays, ushering in a whole new set of emergencies and confrontations and complications,” Wyle shared with attendees.
