\n\t\u201cThe Pitt<\/a>\u201d star Noah Wyle and creator R. Scott Gemmill are explaining the surprise exit of Supriya Ganesh<\/a>, who plays\u00a0senior resident Dr. Samira Mohan on the series, after Season 2<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s an inevitability that\u2019s going to happen every season with this show because as writers we\u2019re hard pressed to figure out what a lapse of time we can have and keep most of the ensemble together realistically,\u201d Wyle told me at PaleyFest\u2019s \u201cThe Pitt\u201d screening and panel Sunday night in Los Angeles. \u201cEmergency rooms have a high revolving door. As always, we try to bring in new characters or promote from within as we go through these cast changes and try to keep the storylines fresh, but obviously Supriya has been a huge part of our show since the beginning.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDr. Mohan is a beloved character, and I love playing with her and working with Supriya, and we wish her all the best in her next endeavors, and we\u2019re going to miss her,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

\n\tGanesh was originally announced to attend PaleyFest, but she posted a message to her social media on Saturday that she was skipping the event. \u201cHi everyone, not sure why it\u2019s not removed off the site but I will not be at PaleyFest this Sunday,\u201d she wrote. \u201cI know some of you bought tickets to see me and I hope you know this is not a decision I take lightly. Love you all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen Variety\u2018s Joe Otterson broke the news of Ganesh\u2019s exit on April 2, a source said her exit was a story-driven decision. Given that Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center is a teaching hospital, it is normal for residents to come in and out. Dr. Mohan has also spent part of Season 2 trying to determine what the next phase of her career will be once her residency ends.<\/p>\n

\n\tGemmill said while walking the red carpet at PaleyFest, \u201cIt\u2019s sort of the nature of the show. Unfortunately, the way the medical profession works, you come in, you learn, you move on, and we want to try and be as truthful to that process as possible. So we\u2019re going to turn over our cast. But I think it\u2019s a great launching pad for people and that\u2019s the best we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShortly after the premiere of Season 1, Ganesh told me, \u201cI never thought I would get my break in something that would be so artistically and creatively fulfilling as \u2018The Pitt.\u2019 When it worked out, it felt like everything in my life had led up to that moment, honestly. Even the week that I was auditioning and getting called back, it felt like something was watching over me or. A bird pooped on me, which if you ask any Indian, is good luck.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the same time it was confirmed that Ganesh was departing the show, Variety also reported exclusively that Ayesha Harris, who plays senior night shift resident Dr. Parker Ellis, was promoted to series regular going into the third season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tGemmill also told me that that Season 3 will start shooting in June and take place a in November to incorporate \u201ccolder weather\u201d into storylines.<\/p>\n
