'The Pitt' Season 3: Ayesha Harris promoted to series regular
What's the story
Ayesha Harris, who plays Dr. Parker Ellis in The Pitt, has been promoted to a series regular for the upcoming third season, according to Variety. Meanwhile, Supriya Ganesh, who has been a part of the show since its inception as Dr. Samira Mohan, will leave after Season 2. The decision behind Ganesh's exit is reportedly story-driven, as it's common for residents to transition in and out of a teaching hospital like Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center, where the show is set.
