The Hollywood Reporter • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Supriya Ganesh, who plays Dr. Samira Mohan on HBO Max's The Pitt, is leaving the show after two seasons due to a storyline decision reflecting typical staff turnover at teaching hospitals.
- Ayesha Harris, previously a recurring cast member as night shift resident Dr. Parker Ellis, has been promoted to series regular for the third season.
- Ganesh's character had been exploring career options following disrupted plans to move back to New Jersey, aligning with her exit from the series; this follows the earlier departure of Dr. Heather Collins after season one.
- The Pitt, an Emmy-winning drama series, is concluding its second season on April 16, with the third season expected to feature the updated cast.
- Both actresses have notable credits outside The Pitt, with Ganesh appearing in shows like Grown-ish and Chicago Med, and Harris in Daisy Jones & The Six and Abbott Elementary.
