Hit HBO show loses huge cast member after just one season

Independent11-07-2025
Tracy Ifeachor, who played Dr. Heather Collins, will not return for the second season of HBO Max's medical drama The Pitt, a decision made by the show's creative team.
Ifeachor's character, a senior resident, appeared in the first 11 episodes of season one, where she was undergoing IVF and had a past relationship with series lead Dr. Robby.
Sepideh Moafi is set to join the cast as a new series regular, playing an attending physician, with most other main cast members reprising their roles for the season, which premieres in January 2026.
The acclaimed series, created by R. Scott Gemmill and executive produced by John Wells and Noah Wyle, is currently facing a lawsuit from the estate of ER creator Michael Crichton.
The lawsuit alleges that The Pitt is an unauthorised reboot of ER, accusing Wells and Wyle of "personal betrayal," though Warner Bros. Television has dismissed the claims as "baseless."

Stock up on tuna sandwiches: the Fast and Furious arcade game's coming to consoles

Gaming Big on family, less big on realism Skip 1 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Here are a few things you're guaranteed to have seen if you've been in an arcade lately: a Minions plushy that's redeemable for 500 million tokens, a spilled Tango Ice Blast, and, most ubiquitous of all, the Fast and Furious arcade game. The good news for anyone averse to two of three of those sights? They're bringing that racer to consoles. Originally developed by Raw Thrills (who also made the Jurassic Park lightgun arcade game) and ported over Nintendo Switch, PlayStation5, and Xbox Series X|S, Fast and Furious Arcade Edition is… definitely not going to cause iRacing to lose any sleep. Think wildly unrealistic handling physics, constant nitro boosting, and tracks where explosions are as common as tarmac.

It's not totally ungrounded vehicular action, though. When it comes to the cars themselves, real models include the Dodge Charger, Corvette Z06, Shelby GT500 KR, Ford GT, Bronco DR, Jeep Wrangler, and more. You might like Interestingly, while local split-screen multiplayer is mentioned in the announcement info, there's no talk of online play. That makes sense in a way – the original arcade version is played in adjacent (worryingly sticky) driving booths so it's a faithful recreation of that experience. That said, this being the year 2025, we'd have expected it to take advantage of the information superhighway for its multiplayer offering too. There's some visual customisation on the cards, along with bonus challenges between the race events 'like stopping a missile in the Swiss Alps or grounding a plane in Hong Kong'. Fast and Furious doing Fast and Furious things, then. Advertisement - Page continues below The game's due for release on 24 October. You've got until then to work up the courage to give yourself that buzz cut and practice saying 'family' over and over and over again in the mirror. Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter.
