Production has officially begun on the third season of HBO Max's acclaimed medical drama "The Pitt." The streamer announced the start of filming on June 16 with a social media post featuring a video of hospital ID badges belonging to the returning cast.

They are joined by Katherine LaNasa as charge nurse Dana Evans, Sepideh Moafi as Dr. Baran AlHashimi, Fiona Dourif as Dr. Cassie McKay, Patrick Ball as Dr. Frank Langdon, Taylor Dearden as Dr. Melissa King, Isa Briones as Dr. Trinity Santos, Gerran Howell as Dr. Dennis Whitaker, and Shabana Azeez as Victoria Javadi.
