The Pitt Season 3 Won't Resolve Baby Jane Doe Storyline
Katherine LaNasa says The Pitt season 3 won't answer what happened to baby Jane Doe, though Dana will say the name again in a new context.
The Pitt will not tie up one of its biggest lingering questions. Katherine LaNasa, who plays nurse Dana Evans, confirmed in an interview that season 3 will not reveal what happened to baby Jane Doe, the infant abandoned in a hospital bathroom during season 2.
LaNasa told the outlet that Dana will say the name "Jane Doe" again in season 3 — but this time she is referring to a jogger, not the baby. The detail suggests the show is moving past the storyline rather than resolving it.
Season 2 of The Pitt followed the staff at Pittsburg Trauma Medical Center through a 15-hour shift over Fourth of July weekend. Its baby Jane Doe plot left the infant's fate ambiguous, and viewers have been waiting for an answer since.
Season 3 is confirmed to premiere next January and is currently in production. It picks up four months after the end of season 2 and is expected to consist of 15 episodes, each covering one hour of a 15-hour shift.
Some cast changes are ahead: Supriya Ganesh will not return as Dr. Mohan, and Shabana Azeez's Dr. Javadi will be on a psychiatry rotation. Noah Wyle and R. Scott Gemmill remain part of the series.
