This marks the fifth addition to The Pitt's Season 2 ensemble, following the casting of recurring guest stars Charles Baker (aka Breaking Bad's Skinny Pete), Irene Choi (Insatiable), and relative newcomers Lucas Iverson and Laëtitia Hollard. (Though Max has not disclosed specific character information, our sister site Deadline reports that Baker will play an unhoused patient; Choi and Iverson have been cast as third- and fourth-year medical students, respectively; and Hollard will assume the role of a recent nursing school graduate.)
Moafi is best known to TV audiences for her turn as Gigi on Showtime's The L Word: Generation Q. Additional roles include Loretta on HBO's The Deuce, Lauren on Apple TV+'s Black Bird, and Hour on FX's Class of '09.
As TVLine previously reported, The Pitt Season 2 will pick up roughly 10 months after the events of Season 1, on 4th of July weekend, as Robby (played by TVLine Dream Emmy nominee Noah Wyle) is in the midst of 'getting himself mentally healthy again.' That will coincide with Dr. Frank Langdon's first day back at work after agreeing to go to rehab.The time jump will also facilitate changes in hospital hierarchy: 'Because it will be July, everyone has been promoted or graduated to the next level,' series creator R. Scott Gemmill told TVLine. 'For instance, Whitaker will be an intern next year — so, finally, his character will be getting paid.' Javadi, meanwhile, 'is going to be doing a sub-internship, and we find out that maybe that's just her stalling because she doesn't want to make up her mind about where she wants to go.'
The Pitt Season 2 premieres January 2026 on Max. Are you looking forward to meeting Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center's newest attending physician? Drop your thoughts in a comment below.

'God touched President Trump's heart': Todd and Julie Chrisley describe moment they learned about pardon
Todd and Julie Chrisley recounted the moment they learned they would be receiving a pardon from President Donald Trump in an exclusive interview on Fox News that's set to air this Saturday on "My View with Lara Trump." "It was the craziest thing and everybody was just looking at me because unfortunately, most of the news that you get in prison is bad news. You know, so they're like, are you OK? I'm like, I am. I'm getting out of here. I'm getting out of here," said Julie. The reality TV stars, along with their children Savannah and Grayson, sat down with Fox News host Lara Trump for their first interview since Trump's presidential pardon and their subsequent release from prison. Todd said a fellow inmate stopped him while he was walking and told him that he believed he had just been pardoned. The "Chrisley Knows Best" star didn't initially believe what he had heard until a corrections officer asked him if he was doing well. "He came by, and he goes, 'Are you good?' And I said, as good as I can be. And he said, Todd, you just got pardoned. They sent me down here to make sure you're OK. And I said, well, they don't need to be worrying about me now. Hell, if I'm pardoned, I'm great," Todd said. "We owe thanks to God. And I say - and God touched President Trump's heart. God led the people to advocate for us. And so, I'm grateful because every night I would pray that God would return me home to my wife and my children. And he did that, so I'm grateful." Todd and Julie's daughter, Savannah, advocated for her parents' release after they were convicted in June 2022 in a federal court in Atlanta, Georgia. The 27-year-old alleged the prosecution was politically motivated due to her parents' support for Trump and their conservative values. Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced to 12 and seven years, respectively, in federal prison after a jury convicted them of bank and tax fraud offenses following a nearly three-week trial, according to the Department of Justice. Both of their sentences, however, were later reduced. "The Chrisleys defrauded financial institutions and the Federal Government through tax evasion and other fraudulent means in an effort to minimize their tax liability, but project an image of wealth," said James Dorsey, special agent in charge of the IRS Criminal Investigation's Atlanta Field Office, at the time. "This sentencing serves notice that no matter a person's celebrity status, there are severe consequences for defrauding the American tax system." Todd and Savannah held a press conference in May, soon after he and his wife were released, where he maintained their innocence. He joked about his residual Botox not wearing off in prison, and Savannah shared their plans for the future. The Chrisleys are returning to reality TV with a new docuseries on Lifetime, which offers a glimpse into the trial and what the family went through. "We're going to set the record straight, and now we move forward with our lives," said Savannah. Tune in to watch the full interview with the Chrisleys on Saturday, June 28 on "My View with Lara Trump at 9 p.m. ET.

5 movies leaving Netflix in June 2025 you have to watch now
What's on tap for Netflix in June? Squid Game returns for a third and final season. Will Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) finally shut the game down once and for all? For movies, Tyler Perry's Straw has remained in the top 10 for almost the entire month.

Danny recruits his former partner, Rusty Ryan (Brad Pitt), and the wealthy Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould) to rob the Las Vegas casinos owned by Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia).

As the heat rises, so too do the tensions, culminating in one of cinema's defining moments of the last 40 years. Stream Do the Right Thing on Netflix. Dune: Part Two (2024) Denis Villeneuve did the impossible in Dune by adapting the unadaptable sci-fi novel by Frank Herbert. Three years later, Villeneuve arguably outdid himself and directed Dune: Part Two, which might one day be considered a masterpiece. After the fall of his house, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and his mother, Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), have been accepted by the Fremen. At first, Paul tries to become an ordinary Fremen. However, Paul is allied to something greater, and he must embrace his destiny to free the Fremen and become the Messiah. Stream Dune: Part Two on Netflix. The Equalizer 3 (2023) For someone with Malcolm X and Alonzo Harris on his resume, Robert McCall is slowly rising in the ranks of his iconic characters.

After falling in love with the people of a small coastal town, Robert comes to their defense when the residents face persecution by the Camorra. Being that it's an Equalizer movie, expect Washington to embark on several killing sprees that are wildly entertaining. Stream The Equalizer 3 on Netflix.

Brushstrokes of hope: Dallas artists rally for child abuse survivors
EDITOR'S NOTE: Last year, Dallas County recorded nearly 28,000 cases of child abuse, according to the Dallas Children's Advocacy Center. That's about one case every 20 minutes. The center, known as DCAC, works to support young victims of abuse, but it relies heavily on community support to do so. --- With every brushstroke, Dallas artists are turning creativity into compassion, donating their work to help abused children heal through the Dallas Children's Advocacy Center's annual Art for Advocacy fundraiser. "Every artist has their own painting style, and mine is a little bit chaotic," said Dallas artist Ken Womack. "I sort of layer things on top of others." Painting with purpose Womack's apartment doubles as his art studio, filled with his original work. For this fundraiser, he's creating a custom piece — a vanity license plate for a "Texas Barbie." "It could go into a bar or a restaurant, but I see it in a home," Womack said. "I see it over a couch or in a family room as an anchor piece." But this piece won't be going to a private collector. It's being donated to DCAC. Supporting children through art "Just how much abuse is going on out there is really kind of shocking," Womack said. "Almost every 20 minutes, there's a report of child abuse in Dallas County." DCAC provides services to children who have been sexually or physically abused, or who have witnessed violent crimes such as homicide, said Kelly Sporich, who is co-hosting this year's fundraiser. Auction funds critical services The money raised helps fund DCAC's core services, including forensic interviews used by law enforcement, child protective services and prosecutors. "Our price points are very approachable," Sporich said. "They start at the cost of one forensic interview, which is $250." Meeting families' basic needs Funds also help families with essentials like hygiene products, temporary housing, transportation to therapy and even meals. "If we're taking care of our children, those are the future adults," Womack said. "So the cycle of wellness and healing is really critical in our society." Event aims to surpass $1.6 million Womack hopes his piece sells for as much as $20,000, helping DCAC surpass last year's total of $1.6 million raised. "I'm telling a story with this piece," he said. "And the piece is connected to the mission of DCAC, which is why it's important." How to attend or bid The 18th annual Art for Advocacy event takes place Saturday, Sept. 18.
