The Pitt has been renewed for season 3, but the news has been overshadowed about who is — and isn’t — coming back after multiple cast exits.

When the medical drama premiered on HBO Max in January 2025, viewers were excited to see Noah Wyle play a doctor again more than after ER. It didn’t take long for Us to fall in love with the entire cast, including Dr. Robby (Wyle), Dr. Collins (Tracy Ifeachor), Dr. Langdon (Patrick Ball), charge nurse Dana (Katherine LaNasa), Dr. Mohan (Supriya Ganesh), Dr. McKay (Fiona Dourif), Dr. King (Taylor Dearden), Dr. Santos (Isa Briones), Whitaker (Gerran Howell) and Javadi (Shabana Azeez).

Season 2 looked a little different when most of the cast returned — except Ifeachor. A source told Us Weekly in July 2025 that it was always the plan for Ifeachor’s character — who was a fourth-year resident in the first season — to go on and be a doctor in future installments of the show.

The insider noted that due to the nature of The Pitt, Dr. Collins wouldn’t be in season 2, but Ifeachor “didn’t choose to leave the show” and isn’t aware of “any doors being closed” on a possible return.

The Pitt swept the 2026 awards season after its gripping story lines and dynamic cast performances, leaving fans eager to see more. The medical drama, created by R. Scott Gemmill and executive produced by John Wells and Noah Wyle, premiered on HBO Max in January 2025. The series chronicles the fictional Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center’s […]

The same reasoning was used when news broke that Ganesh wouldn’t reprise her role in season 3. Off screen, fans have expressed frustration at multiple beloved characters not returning for more episodes.

Keep scrolling to see which The Pitt stars are returning for season 3 — and which aren’t:

Noah Wyle

There’s no The Pitt without Noah Wyle’s character, Dr. Robby, so he is expected to return.

Tracy Ifeachor

After leaving the show, Tracy Ifeachor addressed whether she could be back in the future.

“It was just such a joy and a pleasure to play Dr. Heather Collins and to know that my character has been so phenomenally well-received. It just blew me away,” Ifeachor told Us in September 2025. “I don’t know where she will be on the weekend of next season, but I know where I’m going to be, which is on my next project, which is just so amazing. But I take the lessons that I’ve learned from playing Dr. Heather Collins — playing this character who goes through such a traumatic event and still shows up every day for other people.”

She continued: “[No one] stops to ask if she’s OK, if she needs time out, if she needs to run away. I think as a woman, sometimes we carry a lot of emotional labor without even knowing it. I’ve learned that through this character, so I wouldn’t change that. This experience has been so life-changing, really.”

Patrick Ball

Season 2 showed Langdon returning to work after struggling with drug addiction, which presumably will continue to be explored.

Katherine LaNasa

The actress, who plays Dana Evans, was seen in the video announcing the show’s renewal.

Supriya Ganesh

Supriya Ganesh isn’t coming back as Samira in season 3.

Fiona Dourif

Promotional footage has also confirmed Fiona Dourif’s involvement in season 3.

Roommates, y’all already know Claressa Shields does NOT play about Papoose. She dropped some new flicks on social media, and the comments went crazy — but once Papoose slid in with some words, chileeee, everything paused! And of course, Claressa came right back at him with some spicy energy — no filter and no holding back!

Papoose Speaks Up & Claressa Shields Responds With Some HEAT

On Friday, April 3, Claressa Shields popped out on Instagram in some fresh flicks. The Gwoat showed off two looks and had the timeline locked in. Pap clearly felt the vibe, sliding into her comment section and showing love with fire and heart-eye emojis. Claressa made sure to hit reply, telling her man, “ofc you love my pics the most, you got the special ones earlier (.) (.). Love you.” Claressa didn’t stop at showing love to her man in her own comments. She pulled up To The Shade Room and doubled down on him being her number one writing, “My man My man, my man, everyday and 2x on Sunday 🔥 ❤️✌🏾”

Claressa Handles The Comments & Claps Back At Critics

Even though Claressa stayed locked in on the love from Papoose, she still peeped a few other comments. She wasted no time clapping back when one Instagram user wrote, “You and @meekmill can be a power couple,” and she hit them right back with, “that’s my uncle chill out n****h.” When another social media user tried to come for her shoes, Claressa wasn’t having it. She responded back saying, “I’m not gone lie both shoes ate with this fit to me. No shade.” 

The Gwoat Shuts Down Narratives That Papoose Is After Her Money

Claressa clapping back and shutting down rumors is nothing new. She recently put the speculation to rest about Pap being with her for her money. During a recent chat with The Breakfast Club, Shields doubled down on her man being solid, saying when it comes to cash, he always has her back. Bills paid, flights booked, hotels secured–nobody is topping him.

“That’s how they paint out narratives. But I will tell you something, though. Pap pays my mortgage. Pap pays my car insurance, and my car note. And what else does he do? I haven’t paid for a flight or for a hotel in I don’t know how long […] that’s a man right there!”

There’s nothing more annoying than finally being able to wear your cute new sundress, only to realize — wait — you have no shoes to go with it. Last year’s go-to styles suddenly seem ready for retirement, full of scuffs, dirt and damage you never noticed until now. This spring, we’re saving ourselves some pre-event panic and stocking up on new footwear during Nordstrom’s End of Season sale. Shockingly, the retailer has plenty of cute sandals and sneakers priced under $50, making our mini warm-weather refresh feel totally doable. It’s truly a two-for-the-price-of-one situation!

Since this is a Nordstrom we’re talking about, our favorite discounted picks aren’t from random brands. Our list of must-buy sale shoes includes options from Reebok, Nina, Minnetonka and more labels we’ve loved and trusted for years. However, that also means you won’t want to wait to add ’em to your cart. With designs and prices this good, these sandals and sneakers are bound to sell out soon!

Under-$50 Sandals and Sneakers on Sale at Nordstrom

1. Everyday Option: A quality, neutral sandal discounted before summer, rather than after? Muk Luks’ slides feel like a rare find! Aside from the versatile light brown colorway, we’re fans of the easy slip-on design, cutout detailing and comfy cushioned soles — was $50, now $40!

2. Expensive-Looking: Maybe it’s the stylish big buckle or the raffia accent, but these Mia sandals look five times their price. They’re the kind of fancy-feeling pair you pack for vacation and end up wearing to dinner every night — was $79, now $50!

3. Trendy With a Twist: Sporty suede kicks are having a moment, and Puma’s Arizona sneaker is leading the pack. While the style is pretty popular, we’re really feeling the rose-quartz colorway, which adds a slight pop of color while still acting as a neutral — was $80, now $48!

4. Designer-Inspired: Simple leather (and faux leather) slides are set to be the ‘It’ shoes of the summer. However, while interlocked designs from high-end brands cost hundreds, this similar Call It Spring option is under $40 — was $55, now $36!

5. Very Versatile: Sundresses, Bermuda shorts, wide-leg jeans — you’ll have a hard time finding an outfit that won’t work with Comfortview’s gold-toned Alora sandals, which are surprisingly versatile. While they feature a sleek ankle strap, a secret back zipper makes them easy to slide on. And thanks to the skid-resistant outsole, you won’t be sliding as you go about your day — was $57, now $48!

6. Rich Mom Staple: Wealthy women tend to wear shoes that are a step up from simple, and this leather-like sneaker checks all the boxes. The clean white colorway will complement a ton of outfits, but the luxe perforated detailing adds fashionable flair — was $57, now $48!

7. Easy Espadrilles: Espadrille sandals never go out of style, but if you don’t have it in you to wobble around in a wedge, this flat, ankle-strap alternative has a similar vibe — and is way easier to walk in! — was $50, now $35!

8. Fashionable Find: Dare yourself to be different by trading simple white sneakers for a beige pair from Reebok. The bright suede design will quickly enhance all your basic outfits, so even if you’re rocking a white T-shirt and jeans, you’ll look (and feel!) like a street style star — was $60, now $45!

9. Forever Cool: Consider this your sign to replace the slip-on Vans you’ve owned for years. This blue-and-white checkered pair is 40% off, and for a forever-trendy, celeb-loved shoe, that’s a pretty good deal — was $60, now $36!

10. Event-Ready: If you’ve got a wedding, bridal or baby shower on your calendar, Mango’s ankle-strap sandals are calling your name. The metallic, strappy design makes them feel dressy, while the short, supportive block heel keeps your feet from aching, even after hours of wear — was $80, now $50!

11. Cool Hybrid: Ballet flats or sneakers? With Keds’ Bliss Slip-Ons, you don’t have to choose! The fashion-forward hybrid is the best of both worlds — sweet yet sporty, pretty yet practical — putting it in the running to become your new go-to shoe — was $55, now $39!

12. Understated and Elevated: If you’d rather invest in just one pair of summer-ready shoes, check out Nine West’s Maizy sandals. The brown, strappy design is so sleek and simple, it’ll blend in with every look rather than stand out — was $69, now $50!

13. Tried-and-True: Dr. Scholl’s Madison Slip-On is a cute yet comfy sneaker that gets tons of praise online — which is why we’re grabbing a pair while it’s on sale. Shoppers swear the machine-washable (!!!) pick offers “great support,” and shockingly, “goes with every outfit” — was $55, now $45!

14. Bitty Bows: Bow details have been trending for a while now, and the embellishment doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Upgrade your sandal collection with some sweet, tied-up slides that also feature a small block heel for added height — was $89, now $45!

15. Ready to Walk: Not all cute sandals are easy to walk in, but somehow LifeStride created something that’s the best of both worlds. The brand’s flashy silver slingbacks provide plenty of support and cushioning, and thanks to sturdy straps, they’ll stay on your feet, even as you trek around town — was $55, now $42!

16. Buckle Up: Double-buckle slides are the warm-weather staple you’ll be seeing everywhere from now through fall. This option isn’t just easy to throw on — the wool-blend upper is softer than plastic alternatives, so you won’t have to worry about nursing painful blisters after you take them off — was $99, now $40!

17. ’90s Vibes: These low-profile Reeboks were inspired by soccer shoes, but that doesn’t mean you need to wear them with moisture-wicking shorts or other athleisure staples. The chunkier design is ideal for balancing out feminine pieces, and will toughen up A-line skirts or make floaty dresses feel more casual.

The Chosen has found success depicting the life of Jesus Christ on TV — but the show has also taken some liberties with the source material.

“The writers do such a great job of exploring the humanity [of each character] first vs. what they’re known for nowadays,” Joey Vahedi, who plays apostle Thomas on the Prime Video series, told Us Weekly exclusively while reflecting on adapting events from the Bible. “If people were asked who these figures are, they probably automatically think of the stained glass windows that they’ve seen growing up.”

He continued: “But when you actually look at who they were as human beings, Peter is a fisherman who does some not great things. Thomas was trying to make some money and have a successful business. Matthew was someone that’s portrayed as on the spectrum. They come at it from these very human experiences. That’s what makes it so successful. Because people feel like they can relate.”

The historical drama debuted in 2017 and showcases Jesus’ life through the eyes of the people who interacted with him — including his apostles and disciples, Jewish religious leaders, Roman government and military officials and ordinary people.

HBO ; The CW ; Alan Markfield/Netflix ; Courtesy of Amazon Studios Andrew Scott is the original Hot Priest, but there are even more swoon-worthy religious figures for Us to obsess over. Yes, the Irish actor’s Fleabag character — named The Priest — is the blueprint, but there were some clergymen who came before (and […]

In addition to Vahedi, 35, The Chosen stars Jonathan Roumie as Jesus alongside Shahar Isaac, Elizabeth Tabish, Paras Patel, Noah James, George H. Xanthis and more.

While speaking with Us, Vahedi opened up about how his relationship with faith hasn’t wavered since the show’s first season.

“I don’t know if it necessarily has [changed], but I always say if it has affected somebody else in that way — if it’s someone who either was already a person of faith and it’s strengthened that for them or if it’s helped them to look at it differently — I think it is really, really important in today’s day and age,” he explained. “We look at it through what the actual meaning is, which is to love one another and care about one another. Or if it’s had people that watch the show who are not people of faith — which I believe is a third of our audience — it’s great in all of those aspects. If it works for people, it works.”

Vahedi reflected on the unique project, adding, “It’s rare that a show has this much impact on people — and for people that are not people of faith. … I encourage everyone to just look at it as a period piece. One of our producers, I remember he once said to me, ‘People don’t believe in dragons, but they watch Game of Thrones and still enjoy it.’ Same thing with this. It’s just about a group of people who are trying to make a difference in the world and they’re being oppressed while they’re doing it.”

The actor also explained how filming season 6 was “very different” from past years.

“Things are a little more disjointed in the story and people are starting to panic and not know what’s going on. It’s a scary moment for all the disciples,” he teased.

Season 6 of The Chosen will premiere on November 15 in the U.S. and internationally. Following the first three episodes, the show will air weekly until the season finale, which is a stand-alone theatrical release slated for spring 2027.

“It’s going to be one of the most epic things — cinematically — that we’ve done. … We [might be] coming to the finish line, which makes it bittersweet. Because this has been the greatest gift I could have ever had,” Vahedi told Us. “It’s been such a gift for me to do this. Sometimes chapters do need to come to a close so that way we can appreciate the journey that we went on.”

The Chosen is currently streaming on Prime Video.

“Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” alum Jen Shah was released from prison in December 2025 after serving over two years for conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Now, months after her release, not only has she apologized to the victims of the years-long telemarketing scheme, but the “RHOSLC” alum is now opening up about some of the troubles in her marriage.

Shah, 52, has been married to Sharrieff Shah, 55, since August 1994. The “RHOSLC” alums share two children.

Jen Shah Opens Up About The Troubles In Her Marriage

Shah broke her silence about her life behind bars and the events leading up to it in an interview with PEOPLE. During the emotional conversation, Shah also revealed that she and her longtime husband were edging closer to a divorce amid her legal woes.

The “RHOSLC” alum said, “My husband and I were separated. We were on the verge of a divorce. I was overwhelmed with immense grief from the death of my grandmother, my father, and my aunt, all in a very short period of time. I was spiraling deeper into my previously diagnosed clinical depression.”

Shah went on to note that making a marriage last for multiple decades is challenging for couples. According to her, “Nobody’s married for 32 years, and it’s all perfect, right? So [I say] we were separated and going towards a divorce because I don’t want our relationship [to look] like, ‘Oh, it’s all perfect.’ We put in hard work to get there.”

She added, “The thing about Coach and I is that our anchor is our faith. And a big part of our faith is the sanctity of marriage. I think people believe the hard thing to do is to get a divorce. The hard thing is to stay together. You have to put real work in.”

The ‘RHOSLC’ Alum Says Her Marriage Is Better Now

Luckily for the Shahs, their marriage has improved after the struggles they faced leading up to her prison stint. She said to the outlet, “He’s one of a kind. Most people would have run away, most people would have left. … I’m so grateful and so blessed that my husband and my children were there for me.”

The mom of two then said, “My family has come closer together through all of this. [My] marriage is stronger than it’s ever been, and my children and I, our family unit as a whole, is just closer than we’ve ever been.”

After that, she shared an adage from their marriage, saying, “Coach has a saying: ‘We’re going to love each other through it. No matter what obstacle we’re facing, no matter what we’re dealing with, I’m just going to love you through it. And we’re going to love each other through it.’ And that’s kind of been our family’s mantra.”

Fans Are Reacting To Shah’s Post-Prison Interview

Shah has kept a relatively low profile since being released from the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas. Because of this, there has been considerable anticipation for her first public thoughts since being reunited with her family. Regarding the reaction, “RHOSLC” fans are mixed, with some saying she’s not being accountable enough.

First, one person reacted to Shah’s comments about her marriage. They said on X, “Strong love like that doesn’t break; it only gets stronger.”

Someone else reacted to the interview as a whole, writing, “I really don’t think Jen Shah is remorseful or sorry for what she has done. And she just needs to go away. Don’t bring her back to the show.”

Another person reacted to the section of the interview where she discussed the food in prison. They said on X, “Someone should see how well the victims of her crimes are eating. Especially the ones she took everything from, and they ended their lives…freaking sociopath.”

Still, others would like to see her back on “RHOSLC.”

Jen Shah Posted For Their Anniversary In 2025

Shah was sentenced to 78 months in prison in January 2023. Ultimately, she served 33 months of the lengthy sentence. While behind bars, she managed to retain some connection with the outside world, including statements from her management and various social media posts.

According to PEOPLE, the “RHOSLC” alum posted on Instagram in August 2025 to celebrate her 31st wedding anniversary.

She said in a caption, “Happy 31st Anniversary today to me and my baby. Words cannot express how much I love and appreciate you. You bring so much joy to my life & I am forever thankful for your overwhelming love and support as we approach this next chapter. Thank you for blessing me with two amazing young men.”

Shah continued, “I love you so much & can’t wait to hold you again soon.” Notably, this was before it was announced that she would be released from prison in December.

Heather Gay Accused Shah’s Husband Of Flirting With An ‘RHOSLC’ Co-Star

Shah was one of the original cast members on “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” as was Heather Gay. According to US Weekly, in her 2024 book, “Good Time Girl,” Gay accused Shah’s husband of having tried to kiss Monica Garcia, who appeared on “RHOLSC” following Shah’s exit.

Notably, Garcia was Shah’s assistant, which served as her connection to the group. Following the claim, all involved parties have denied that Shah’s husband attempted to kiss Garcia.
