Is The Pitt Getting a Night Shift Spinoff? Shawn Hatosy Says…

by

Shawn Hatosy is ready to pull some double duty in the E.R.

After the huge popularity of his role in The Pitt, the actor who plays Dr. Jack Abbot on the HBO Max medical drama shared whether he’d be interested in leading a TV series focused on the hospital’s night shift.

In a recent interview with People magazine, published on April 3rd, actor Hatosy mentioned the possibility of exploring a night shift storyline. He believes it could allow for a unique and compelling atmosphere for the show.

The Emmy-winning actor believes a show focusing on overnight hospital emergencies would give viewers a wider range of medical cases and unusual injuries.

According to Hatosy, Dr. Abbot specifically sought out the night shift because it attracts a unique and somewhat unconventional team.

Viewers will continue to see Dr. Abbot assisting the regular team of doctors—including Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle), Dr. Langdon (Patrick Ball), Dr. Al-Hashimi (Sepideh Moafi), and Charge Nurse Evans (Katherine LaNasa), along with others—as they start and finish their shifts.

Dr. Samira Mohan, who plays the popular character Supriya Ganesh, will be leaving the medical drama before its third season. Ganesh’s final episode will air on April 16th as the season two finale.

Viewers weren’t completely surprised by Mohan’s exit, as the show had hinted at his plans to pursue further training. He’d been looking into a residency program in New Jersey and a fellowship at a different hospital.

Ayesha Harris, who plays Dr. Parker Ellis on the show, has been promoted to a series regular – a change she excitedly shared with her followers online.

Dr. Ellis jokingly shared on April 2nd that she needs to work extra hours to cover her student loan payments, adding, ‘I’ve been meaning to mention this for a bit!’

Harris, who has been with The Pitt since it began in 2025, also shared a few final words with her colleague.

She also thanked her friend, Supriyaganesh, for always being supportive, saying, “Thank you for being a real one, from the very beginning!” She then excitedly celebrated the start of their third season together, adding, “Let’s go!”

I’m still reeling, honestly.

It’s easy to fall into routines, but you can’t just do the same things day in and day out – even if you love them! I was saying on The Drew Barrymore Show that, for me, that meant stepping away from some familiar projects to try new things. Although I did pop back for a guest spot in May and I still love narrating, it’s important to challenge yourself.
