‘The Pitt’ Star Lands Netflix Gig After Shock Exit

The actress is joining Netflix’s reboot of “13 Going on 30” after leaving the hit medical drama.

Supriya Ganesh won’t be staying off TV screens for long after her surprising departure from The Pitt. The actress has joined the cast of Netflix’s upcoming reboot of 13 Going on 30, which also stars Emily Bader, Logan Lerman, Jessica Alba, Tim Meadows, and Taylor Ortega. Jennifer Garner, who headlined the 2004 romantic comedy, is returning as an executive producer on the new film. The announcement comes just weeks after HBO confirmed Ganesh’s character, Dr. Samira Mohan, would not return for the upcoming third season of The Pitt, with sources describing the move as a story-driven creative decision. Ganesh previously said she was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from fans after news of her exit broke and hinted that she already had new projects in the works. The announcement marks her first major role announced since leaving the Emmy-winning medical drama.
