It doesn’t take much for an unfounded rumor to make its way around the internet these days, true or not.<\/p>\n
That’s exactly what happened when The Pitt<\/em> returned for Season 2 as the HBO Max medical drama was front page news thanks to an alleged feud between executive producer and the star of the show Noah Wyle and newcomer Sepideh Moafi.<\/p>\n Unsubstantiated claims emerged suggesting Moafi, who plays Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi, the attending physician who arrives as Dr. Robby\u2019s interim replacement ahead of his sabbatical, and Wyle were at odds. A fan-fiction theory held that Dr. Al-Hashimi\u2019s arc was a form of retribution for the supposed off-screen rift.<\/p>\n In a conversation with Variety<\/a>, Moafi made it clear’s there’s not animosity between the two.<\/p>\n \u201cAbsolutely not,\u201d she says. \u201cI do not have that power. We\u2019re really great colleagues. Noah and I have always had a great working relationship, which is why it actually felt safe to do the darker, dirtier work in episode 15, particularly because, between setups, we were shooting the shit and laughing.<\/p>\n “So that\u2019s completely false that there\u2019s a personal sort of beef or rivalry between us, at least not that I\u2019m aware of. You can check with Noah, but I don\u2019t know about this.\u201d<\/p>\n Moafi also revealed her character is coming back for Season 3, though she’s not exactly clear on the details.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the moment, I am. I\u2019m not sure to what capacity,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m positive, I think? Nothing is clear to me as to what\u2019s happening with the story, how many episodes, all that, but I am coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n The Pitt<\/em> is one of the highest-rated HBO Max shows in recent memory, with a 94% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes in Season 1 and an even better 98% in Season 2.<\/p>\n Season 3 has plenty to live up to.<\/p>\n Related: Netflix Quietly Adds Disappointing Will Smith Drama<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally published by <\/em>Men’s Journal<\/em><\/a> on May 28, 2026, where it first appeared in the <\/em>Entertainment<\/em><\/a> section.
