Supriya Ganesh to Exit 'The Pitt' After Season 2, Withdraws from PaleyFest Panel Supriya Ganesh, the actress who portrays Dr. Samira Mohan on the HBO medical drama "The Pitt," has confirmed she will not attend the PaleyFest LA 2026 panel for the show, which was scheduled for April 12. The decision comes shortly after the show’s creators announced her departure from the series at the end of Season 2 on April 3. Ganesh, 28, had been set to participate in the panel, which coincided with the event taking place days before the Season 2 finale on April 16. Ganesh’s absence from the PaleyFest event was disclosed by the festival organizers to USA TODAY, with no official reason provided for her withdrawal. The panel, which included executive producers R. Scott Gemmill, Noah Wyle (who plays Dr. Michael Robinavitch), and Katherine LaNasa (who portrays Dana Evans), was expected to discuss the show’s upcoming season. Ganesh’s decision to skip the event was also shared with her followers via an April 10 Instagram Stories post, which she later noted had not been removed from the platform. In the post, she wrote, “I will not be at Paleyfest this Sunday. I 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.” The announcement of Ganesh’s exit from "The Pitt" was framed by the show’s creators as a narrative-driven choice, aligning with the frequent personnel changes typical in a teaching hospital setting. This mirrors the departure of Dr. Heather Collins, played by Tracy Ifeachor, who left the series at the end of Season 1. Ganesh’s departure marks the end of her tenure as a series regular, with her character’s arc concluding in the final episodes of Season 2. In a separate development, the show’s producers confirmed that Ayesha Harris, who plays Dr.#the_pitt #supriya_ganesh #noah_wyle #r_scott_gemmill #paleyfest_la_2026
