'The Pitt' season 2: Sepideh Moafi joins the cast adding a fresh dynamic to the series
Sepideh Moafi is all set to thrill her fans with latest project. The star of The Black Bird and Class of '09 has officially joined season 2 of Max's intense medical drama The Pitt. According to TheWrap reports.
At the Pittsbugh Trauma medical hospital, also known as The Pitt, the 39 year old will play the character of an attending physician working in emergency medicine.
Sepideh Moafi's role is to bring fresh dynamics to the high-stress environment of the ER. Even though the backstory details of her are still unclear and enigmatic, and it's mysterious whether she has been part of the hospital throughout, staying out of the limelight in season 1, or if she is a new arrival following the dramatic episodes of the season 1 finale.
Regardless, her arrival definitely will bring change to the already intense emergency room, just as the story picks up during the busy Fourth of July weekend in Season 2.
What The Pitt is all about?
The Pitt has achieved attention in its very first season itself because of the portrayal of the real-time teaching and life in a teaching hospital's emergency room(ER). In every 15 episodes they covered just one dedicated one hour of a long and intense shift, holding the action almost thoroughly within the trauma centre.
For most of the characters the whole season unravels over their first day on the new job and pushes them into a whirlwind of trauma, personal growth and heartbreak.
This is created by ER veteran R. Scott Gemmill and executive produced by
Noah Wyle
and John Wells, and the series The Pitt has been compared to the classic medical dramas but carries new wave and modern perspective. Wyle also comes into view in the show as Dr. Michael 'Robby' Robinavitch, who is the experienced physician guiding the department. Joining Sepideh Moafi in Season 2 are new cast members Charles Baker, Irene Choi, Laëtitia Hollard, and Lucas.

'I'm a completely different person': Mizkif reacts after FaZe Silky bans him from FaZe's 4th July party
(Image via X/@yoxic) Twitch streamer Mizkif is once again in hot water, but this time, for being banned from FaZe Clan's hyped 4th of July party. FaZe's Silky publicly called him out for past 'racist' behaviour, pulling the plug on Mizkif's invite. But Mizkif isn't fighting back. Instead, he's owning his past and calling himself a changed man. Silky Pulls the Plug on Mizkif's Invite It all started when Mizkif was set to attend FaZe's massive Fourth of July party, with fellow streamers like Ludwig, QTCinderella, and even Plaqueboymax expected to be there. But things took a turn when FaZe member Silky made it clear that Mizkif was not welcome. Live on stream, Silky didn't hold back, saying he had no interest in 'weird people' and didn't want someone with a 'racist past' at the FaZe House. The invite, originally extended by FaZe's Lacy, was publicly revoked. Mizkif's Response: 'I Get It' Unlike what you might expect, Mizkif didn't throw shade back. In fact, during a recent stream, he said he understands where Silky is coming from. 'I don't blame Silky for what he said... It's understandable ,' he admitted. He didn't deny the past. In fact, he leaned into it. Mizkif admitted to saying dumb things when he was younger, just like, according to him, ' everyone else in the industry back then .' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Joyful Cirque Spectacle GCE Read More Undo But his main message was this: That's not who I am anymore. 'I Was 22. I'm 30 Now.' Mizkif addressed the elephant in the room directly—his past use of racial slurs. 'I said this sh** when I was twenty-two,' he confessed. 'But I'm a completely different person than what I was when I was twenty-two.' He also pointed out the hypocrisy that many content creators have a messy past. Without naming names, he mentioned FaZe Banks and others, suggesting that growth is part of being online for years. Mizkif Destroyed by Faze Silky.. Banned.. Mizkif Responds.. Fans Are Divided (As Always) Twitter, Reddit, and Twitch chats are all split. Some people are backing Silky's move, saying there's no excuse, ever. Others believe in second chances and feel Mizkif has shown enough growth over the years to deserve one. No word yet on whether Silky and Mizkif will actually talk things out. Mizkif says he's open to a conversation—but the ball's in Silky's court. One thing's for sure though: this drama has put FaZe's 4th of July bash on everyone's radar for reasons no one expected. Whether Mizkif ends up at the party or not, the real fireworks have already started. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

What to Stream: Ryan Coogler's Sinners, a Kesha album, SharkFest and John Cena with Idris Elba
Kesha enjoying her freedom on her first new album since she left her old label and Ryan Coogler's guts-spilling vampire film 'Sinners,' are some of the new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you. Also among the streaming offerings worth your time, as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists: Charlize Theron in 'The Old Guard 2' on Netflix, National Geographic's 25-hour 'SharkFest' and John Cena playing a U.S. president opposite Idris Elba as the UK's prime minister in the comedy 'Heads of State.' – Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners,' arguably the movie of the year up to this point, begins streaming Friday, July 4 on Max. With $363.8 million in worldwide ticket sales, Coogler's supernatural thriller is one of the most successful original films of the last two decades. It stars Michael B. Jordan as a pair of twins who return to their hometown to open a juke joint in 1930s Mississippi. Vampires, and other dark forces, intrude on their plans. In her review, AP's Jocelyn Noveck wrote: 'How Coogler pulls everything off at once — and makes it cohere, mostly — is a sight to see.' – The wait has been long for 'The Old Guard 2' (Netflix, Wednesday), a sequel to Gina Prince-Bythewood's 2020 streaming hit starring Charlize Theron as a member of a team of centuries-old mercenaries. In 'The Old Guard 2,' shot all the way back in 2022, Victoria Mahoney takes over as director, while Theron returns as Andy, a warrior who has now lost her immortality. – In 'Heads of State' (Prime Video, Wednesday), John Cena plays the president of the United States and Idris Elba plays the prime minister of the United Kingdom. What could go wrong? In Ilya Naishuller's comedy, the two are hunted by the same adversary. Elba's politician, a former commando, is better prepared than Cena's president, a former action movie star. – A Zambian family funeral unearths a dark past and an anguished reckoning in Rungano Nyoni's beguiling 'On Becoming a Guinea Fowl' (Max, Friday, July 4). Nyoni's follow-up to the equally compelling 'I Am Not a Witch,' AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr wrote in her review, 'cements the exciting arrival of a true filmmaker.' — Kesha is a free agent. On Independence Day, she'll self-release '.' (pronounced 'Period'), her first new full-length album since her departure from RCA and the Dr. Luke-founded Kemosabe Records in 2023. That year, the pop star and the producer settled nearly a decade of suits and countersuits over her accusation that he drugged and raped her and his claim that she made it up and defamed him. Across the 11-track release, Kesha is clearly enjoying some newfound freedoms: '.' is a stuffed with throwback, ebullient pop, like the sultry 'JOYRIDE.,' the country-and-western-themed 'YIPPEE-KI-YAY.,' and the bighearted power ballad 'DELUSIONAL.' — After a successful season 2, the cast of 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' gather for their first reunion episode on Hulu. #MomTok has a lot to hash out including infidelity rumors and accusations of clout-chasing. Nick Viall, a podcaster and former star of ABC's 'The Bachelor," hosts the special streaming Tuesday. — Netflix has a documentary previewing its upcoming Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano fight at Madison Square Garden. "Countdown: Taylor Vs. Serrano," debuts Thursday and is narrated by Uma Thurman. It will show Taylor and Serrano as they train and prepare for their third match. — A number of fin-tastic programs about sharks stream in July. Netflix offers a new reality competition show called 'All the Sharks' debuting on Friday, July 4. Four teams of shark experts compete to locate and photograph the most number of sharks. The winners get $50,000 for their favorite marine charity. — National Geographic has compiled more than 25 hours of television for its annual SharkFest which begins streaming Sunday, July 6, on Disney and Hulu. In the docuseries, 'Investigation Shark Attack,' scientists attempt to pinpoint what causes a shark to attack. 'Super Shark Highway' follows researchers as they track sharks along migration routes in the waters off Australia. The goal is to find ways for sharks and humans to coexist in the busy ocean. — Giant robots! Maybe you like the kind that can stomp across a city, crushing office buildings under their huge metal feet. Or you prefer the ones who can fly above the chaos, unleashing missiles at each other. Perhaps you'd rather have your mech just hang back and perform maintenance on the ones taking the most damage. Whatever your choice, Mecha Break, from China's Amazing Seasun Games, hopes to have you covered. It's a multiplayer slugfest with 3 vs. 3, 6 vs. 6 and human vs. AI scenarios. You can start building your dream bot Wednesday on Xbox X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC.
