As we inch closer to the second season finale of HBO Max, EP John Wells, and series creator/showrunner R. Scott Gemmill's Noah Wyle-starring The Pitt, we've got big Season 3 casting news to share. Variety is reporting that Ayesha Harris (senior night shift resident Dr. Parker Ellis) has been upped to a series regular for the third season. Unfortunately, Supriya Ganesh (senior resident Dr. Samira Mohan) will not be returning to the award-winning streaming series, with Ganesh's departure said to be based on the show's storyline direction moving forward.

During a special event marking the launch of HBO Max in the UK and Ireland late in March, HBO and HBO Max chief Casey Bloys had a one-on-one session with Wyle to discuss the hit streaming series. When asked for an update on how things are looking with the third season, Wyle noted that cameras should be rolling "very soon" and that writing was already underway.

"We are in the process of writing character arcs for season three for everybody. It's a very interesting show to break because, unlike a lot of shows where there are 22 episodes that may play out over a calendar year, this is 15 hours of one day. So you're painting with a much finer brush. For a character's arc, it's not really enough to go through the courtship of a romance, but it's enough to get your head turned. These are really small arcs that happen in the course of a day, but can be really satisfying if you're engaged with that character."

Starring Wyle as Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, the critically acclaimed series offers a realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today's America, as seen through the lens of frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh. Each episode follows an hour of Dr. Robby's (Wyle) 15-hour shift as the chief attendant in Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center's emergency department. Tracy Ifeachor (Dr. Collins), Patrick Ball (Dr. Langdon), Katherine LaNasa (Dana Evans), Supriya Ganesh (Dr. Mohan), Fiona Dourif (Dr. McKay), Taylor Dearden (Dr. King), Isa Briones (Dr. Santos), Gerran Howell (Dennis Whitaker), and Shabana Azeez (Victoria Javadi) also starred in the first season.

Sepideh Moafi has joined the cast for the second season of The Pitt as a series regular, with Charles Baker, Irene Choi, Laëtitia Hollard, Lucas Iverson, Lawrence Robinson, Brittany Allen, Bonita Friedericy, Taylor Handley, Jeff Kober, Rusty Schwimmer, Jayne Taini, Annabelle Toomey, Rusty Schwimmer, Jayne Taini, and Annabelle Toomey.
