‘The Pitt’ Season 2 Casts Sepideh Moafi

“The Pitt” has added Sepideh Moafi to the cast of the show’s second season.

Production on the hit Max series began earlier in June in Los Angeles. Moafi will appear in a series regular role as an attending physician in emergency medicine.

“The Pitt” was renewed for Season 2 back in February, roughly one month after it premiered. Led by series star Noah Wyle, the show is described as a “realistic examination of the challenges facing healthcare workers in today’s America as seen through the lens of the frontline heroes working in a modern-day hospital in Pittsburgh.”

Moafi previously starred in the critically-acclaimed HBO series “The Deuce” as well as the Showtime series “The L Word: Generation Q.” Her recent credits also include “Class of ’09” at FX/Hulu as well as the miniseries “Blackbird” at Apple TV+. She has also starred in films like “I’ll Be Right There,” “The Killing of Two Lovers,” and “The Arrangements.”

She is repped by Principal Entertainment LA, Gersh, ID Public Relations, and Schreck Rose.

Season 1, which consisted of 15 episodes, was structured in a way in which each episode took place over one hour of a 15-hour shift at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital. Along with Wyle, the cast for Season 1 included Tracey Ifeachor, Patrick Ball, Katherine LaNasa, Supriya Ganesh, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell, and Shabana Azeez.

R. Scott Gemmill created the series and serves as an executive producer. Wyle is also an executive producer along with John Wells and Erin Jontow of John Wells Productions, Michael Hissrich and Simran Baidwan. Warner Bros. Television, where John Wells Productions is under an overall deal, is the studio.
