The emergency department at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center will undergo a staffing change between seasons of The Pitt.
Supriya Ganesh, who has played Dr. Samira Mohan in the first two seasons of the HBO Max hit, is departing the show. Meanwhile, Ayesha Harris, who recurs as night shift resident Dr. Parker Ellis, has been promoted to a series regular for The Pitt’s third season.
Ganesh’s exit from the series is said to be a story decision — the fictional PTMC is a teaching hospital, and staff turnover is common at such facilities in real life. Ganesh’s character has also spent a good amount of time this season pondering the next steps in her medical career after her plans to move back to her home state of New Jersey were disrupted. Her departure follows that of Tracy Ifeachor’s Dr. Heather Collins after season one.
