The Pitt Season 2 Adds Sepideh Moafi As New Series Regular
Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch won't be the only attending physician on the floor in The Pitt Season 2.
Sepideh Moafi (The L Word: Generation Q) has boarded the acclaimed Max medical drama as a series regular. Though her character name remains under wraps, TVLine can confirm that Moafi plays a new attending physician in emergency medicine.
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.
