Though Max is not disclosing specific character information, our sister site Deadline is reporting 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. All four are recurring.
The Pitt Season 2 began production in Los Angeles on June 5 for a targeted January 2026 premiere. Prior to its return, all of Season 1 will air on basic cable network TNT.
You can watch (or rewatch) our finale Q&A with Wyle below:
As TVLine previously reported, 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.'

Kristen Bell on Why Audiences Swoon Over That First ‘Nobody Wants This' Kiss: ‘Comfort Can Be Incredibly Passionate'
Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody) are back for Season 2 of 'Nobody Wants This,' and the show's cast and producers hint that there will be changes to their relationship after the Season 1 finale. 'Joanne and Noah are now at a place in their relationship for Season 2 where they're asking each other different questions,' creator and showrunner Erin Foster revealed at the inaugural Televerse event, hosted on Aug. 15 at the J.W. Marriott L.A. Live. 'Everyone's been in the first couple months of a relationship, and everyone's past the threshold where you ask if you and your partner are going to dinner with each other's families or if you are going to cohabitate with one another. There's all of these teeny, tiny things that link you closer to someone else.' More from Variety 'Nobody Wants This' Season 2 First Look: Kristen Bell and Adam Brody's Love Faces More Tests - Will Joanne Convert to Judaism? 'Bones' Reunion, Henry Winkler Acting Class Set for TV Academy's Televerse Festival Next Month 'Nobody Wants This' Casting Team Used Clips of Adam Brody and Kristen Bell's Past Projects: 'Everyone Could See the Chemistry Right Away' During the panel, actress Jackie Tohn teased what is next in store for her character, Esther, who is married to Noah's older brother, Sasha (Timothy Simons). 'We delve a lot deeper into everybody, because we have more time to do that,' she said. 'I think Esther is realizing in Season 2 that she wants to have a good time like Noah and Joanne, and to not have self-imposed bad times.' 'Nobody Wants This' follows Joanne, an agnostic podcast host who finds herself falling in love with Noah, an unconventional rabbi. The two begin to question their growing affection for one another and if they can make romance work between the two. In Season 1's first kiss scene, Bell and Foster revealed the intimacy behind the kiss and why it went viral online. 'In the [first kiss] moment, it is meant to give the audience the passion of like these two people and their comfort together, because comfort can be incredibly passionate,' said Bell. 'It's a deep, beautiful emotion, and we don't associate it with kissing very much.' Added Foster: 'I think that as sometimes as women, there's sort of a universal language that we all know with each other. We have a responsibility when we're creating something that we are telling the narrative of romance to young women. And a lot of it is, have you know their habits that you sort of don't want to emulate, and the idea of showing women a healthy relationship. Sometimes as a woman, we want men to talk to us like we're a little delicate and strong, and to support us.'

He was even a regular on the short-lived police drama The Link Men.
