The Pitt Season 2: Dr. Mohan’s Departure and the Show’s Revolving Cast Trend

by

Be warned, this article reveals key plot points from the first episode of The Pitt season 2. After only one episode, the show seems to be setting up another major character’s exit. The cast of The Pitt has already seen changes after season one, with some familiar faces missing – like Dr. Heather Collins (Tracy Ifeachor) – and several new actors joining as doctors, interns, nurses, and patients.

The show The Pitt has already hinted at another doctor leaving Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, starting with season 2, episode 1. Although Dr. Samira Mohan (played by Supriya Ganesh) will appear throughout the current season, the show jumped forward in time before season 2 began, and will likely do so again in season 3. This next time jump will probably lead to her departure, so fans should expect to see her leave the hospital.

Dr. Mohan Said She’s Taking A Partnership In New Jersey After The Pitt Season 2

In the first episode of season 2 of The Pitt, Dr. Mohan told Dr. McKay (Fiona Dourif) that she’d already agreed to a partnership at a hospital in New Jersey. She explained that she wants to live closer to her mother to help care for her as she gets older. As a fourth-year resident on The Pitt season 2, accepting a position at a new hospital is a common step in her career.

Dr. Mohan plans to move to New Jersey after completing her residency, meaning she likely won’t appear in season 3 of The Pitt. Because of Dr. Robby’s extended leave, there will probably be a significant time jump between seasons, and by then, Dr. Mohan could already be living in a different state.

However, Dr. Mohan’s potential exit from PTMC isn’t certain. Unexpected events, often referred to as ‘The Pitt,’ could arise and keep her in Pittsburgh. She might also decide to remain at PTMC by becoming a partner elsewhere within the organization. Furthermore, her mother is going on a cruise with a new partner, and if they marry, Dr. Mohan might no longer feel obligated to move to New Jersey to care for her.

The Pitt’s Revolving Cast Trend Looks Like It Will Continue

Even with those points to consider, it seems Dr. Mohan will be departing The Pitt after season 3. Mohan strongly suggests that the show will continue to feature a changing cast, which has become a key part of its format. The show previously explained Dr. Collins’ departure at the end of season 1 by saying they wanted to reflect the reality of hospitals, where doctors frequently move to different locations and positions throughout their careers.

If Mohan leaves PTMC, she’d be the second doctor to follow a common career path – moving to a new hospital to advance their career. Because PTMC is a teaching hospital, departing doctors will be replaced each year with new interns, residents, and nursing students. Just like in real life, the staff at PTMC will change from year to year in The Pitt.

Even doctors who remain in Pittsburgh might not appear in every season of The Pitt. The show uniquely follows a single work shift at PTMC, meaning a doctor like Jack Abbot could be absent for an entire season simply because they weren’t scheduled to work during that particular shift – even if they haven’t left the city or changed jobs. Ultimately, no main character on The Pitt is guaranteed to be a permanent fixture.
