Besides Noah Wyle, who will obviously be back as Robby (given that he’s also an executive producer on the series), we can apparently expect the rest of “The Pitt” season 1’s main cast to follow suit. That likely includes Robby’s night shift counterpart Dr. Jack Abbot (Shawn Hatosy), senior ER resident Dr. Heather Collins (Tracy Ifeachor), third-year resident Dr. Samira Mohan (Supriya Ganesh), second-year residents Dr. Cassie McKay (Fiona Dourif) and Dr. Mel King (Taylor Dearden), intern Dr. Trinity Santos (Isa Briones), and potentially even medical students Dennis Whitaker (Gerran Howell) and Victoria Javadi (Shabana Azeez). There’s also Patrick Ball’s resident Dr. Frank Langdon, who’s fired by Robby during season 1 after the attending discovers that his protegé has been stealing — and taking — drugs from the hospital; in the season finale, Robby tells Langdon he can only return if he goes to rehab. In the TVLine interview, Gemmill and Wyle confirmed that Langdon will have completed his treatment before season 2. The biggest question mark here, though, is Katherine LaNasa’s experienced charge nurse Dana Evans. During season 1, she endures a deadly, devastating rush from a mass shooting and gets punched in the face by a disgruntled patient, so it’s easy to understand why she starts packing up her belongings like she might quit in the season 1 finale. According to Wyle and R. Scott Gemmill, though, Dana will be back. After saying that, obviously, there’s a lot of turnover in hospitals in real life, Wyle continued, “But, obviously, I can’t get rid of Katherine. Obviously, Dana is an important part [of this show]. But Dana choosing to come back — if she chooses to come back, and how she comes back, and what Dana is like having made the decision to come back, and what she’s going to allow this place to either do or not do to her going forward, becomes the stuff that, you know, is the grist for the mill.”

“In terms of Katherine, I think if next season were to take place the next day or the next week, you wouldn’t see Dana,” Gemmill added. “I think she needs to take some time off to really talk to her husband, talk about what she wants out of life. […] I think when she comes back, she’s going to have a bit of an attitude adjustment, though. She’ll be even less tolerant of bulls**t. She’s going to be much more protective of her flock.” The series will be available for streaming on [platform].
