The Pitt made waves with its first season by offering a real-time, high-stakes look at life inside a teaching hospital's ER. With each of its 15 episodes spanning a single hour of an extended shift, the show rarely leaves the walls of the trauma center.

Scott Gemmill, with executive producers Noah Wyle and John Wells, the series has drawn comparisons to classic medical dramas while offering a fresh, modern twist. Wyle also stars as the department's seasoned physician, Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch. Along with Moafi, Season 2 will also feature newcomers Charles Baker, Irene Choi, Laëtitia Hollard and Lucas Iverson. FAQs: 1. Who does Sepideh Moafi play in The Pitt Season 2?
