Mild spoilers for season three of The Pitt
The Pitt is one of the best shows on television and I’ll keep watching it even though I’m disappointed by how they’ve sidelined women of color. It’s clear that the showrunner is an older white male, although they do have Black women on their writing team. When something is extremely good it’s easier to see the flaws than in a middling show that you expect to be lacking, you know?
Dr. Mohan, played by Supriya Ganesh, won’t be on season three. Dr. Collins, played by Tracy Ifeachor, left after the first season. Now there’s news that Shabana Azeez, who plays Dr. Javadi, will have a different role this coming season. She’s not leaving, she’s just going to be on psych rotation, as was telegraphed at the end of this last season. (I know I should have made the title for this story more interesting, but I didn’t want to be misleading or clickbaity.) Azeez spoke with Bustle about her character in what sounds like a brief red carpet interview.
As The Pitt Season 3 heads into production, one of the show’s fan-favorite doctors (er, docs in training) is teasing what to expect from the next installment.
Catching up with Bustle at the Newport Beach TV Fest on June 6, Shabana Azeez, who plays Victoria Javadi, confirmed that her character will experience a change of scenery in Season 3. “I can say that I’m not in the ER this season. I’ve done my ER rotation, so I’m doing my psychiatry rotation,” she says…
As Azeez tells Bustle of her character’s foray into a new department: “It’s a very different vibe for me. And I’m scared and nervous. But it’s an honor to be able to show that part of medicine.”
I’m ok with this, as long as she’s still on the show. I’m still salty about Dr. Mohan leaving though! This next season is going to be set in November and will reportedly premiere in January 2027 like the last two seasons. That’s such a long time to wait, but it will be worth it if they clean up some of the plotlines. Can we please get less of Dr. Robby’s angst? I want him to survive, but I don’t care if we barely see him. He’s an anchor for that show and by that I mean he’s weighing the rest of the storylines down. The way he treated Dr. Mohan was despicable, but it seems true to his character type. As does having her written off the show afterwards.

It cant be a coincidence that every show noah w is casted in these things happen. His show The Librarians was plagued by mean rumors. He gets rid of people. Even on ER it was rumored he would get people fired. Heres to The Pit surviving.
I want more Shawn Hatosy next season.
Who doesn’t? The dedication, the drive, the spirit, the heart, and … the body. “I’ll pay for it.”
My husband is an ER physician and I am a psychiatrist. We love the Pitt. The angst that Dr. Robbie’s charter expresses really rings true for my husband and for me. Burnout is something that many ER physicians struggle with. It’s tough to watch, and it’s even more uncomfortable to experience first hand. The show does a good job capturing that experience.
Hopefully, it’ll be interesting to see shabana azeez’s character in a new space and hopefully we will still see a lot of her. Will miss Dr. Mohan. Am fans of both of those actresses so thank you for writing a post about them.
