Javadi Leaves ER for Psychiatry in The Pitt Season 3

Actress Shabana Azeez confirmed that her character, medical student Victoria Javadi, will leave the emergency room for a psychiatry rotation in the upcoming third season of the HBO Max drama "The Pitt." Azeez made the announcement during an interview at the Newport Beach TV Fest on June 6.

The character's shift follows a season-long arc in which Javadi grappled with the intense stress of emergency medicine. In Season 2, she expressed concerns about the toll the ER was taking on her, telling a colleague that the more time she spent there, the more she realized the importance of mental health for both patients and staff. By the season's end, she was actively exploring emergency psychiatry as a potential specialty, seeking advice from Dr. Robby, played by Noah Wyle.

Azeez described the new direction as a significant change, stating it is a very different vibe and that she feels both scared and nervous to tackle it, but considers it an honor to portray that aspect of medicine. While Javadi will not be working in the ER, Azeez confirmed her character will remain part of the series, unlike Dr. Samira Mohan, played by Supriya Ganesh, who will not return for the new season.
