‘The Pitt’ Stars Unpack Season 2 Dynamics, Javadi’s TikTok Presence and McKay’s Date

As the strenuous Fourth of July shift on “The Pitt” Season 2 sees mounting pressure for plenty of the ER doctors and nurses — including Langdon’s tense return — the day has actually been more scaled back for Shabana Azeez’s Javadi and Fiona Dourif’s McKay, who both experienced a rather stressful first season as their personal lives coincided with the ER.

“This season Cassie’s life is a little bit more settled in a nice way — she’s not at the apex of chaos,” Dourif told TheWrap, noting that her Season 2 journey is a bit more “existential.” “‘What do I want my life to look like when I die? And maybe I could fill out some of the interests that I have been ignoring because of work and raising my kids …. it’s kind of big, middle-aged stuff.”

Dourif also played with how McKay’s interactions with patients would differ now that her character is a bit more settled and has prioritized self-care, alongside every ER staff member that went through Season 1’s mass casualty event. “Where does the empathy go from there?” she pondered.

Even though Javadi’s first day jitters didn’t reach the level of humiliation McKay felt as her ankle monitor went off in the ER, Azeez noted that first shift meant that Javadi didn’t yet feel comfortable in the Pitt. But now, after some time working in the ER and other rotations under her belt, she’s able to let her character’s vulnerabilities come through.
