Katherine Lanasa about photographing disgusting scene for season 2
“The Pitt” star Katherine Lanasa says that the most challenging word she had to say about the medical drama was “Campylobacter”.
“They are bacteria in Kak or something. I don’t know,” Lanasa told me on Sunday at the HBO Emmy nominees in Hollywood. “It’s something terrible. It’s something very dirty. Sometimes they have things that are so dirty.” (According to the Cleveland Clinic“A Campylobacter infection (Campylobacteriosis) is one of the most common causes of diarrhea. It is a bacterial infection that you can get from insufficient poultry, raw milk and untreated water.”)
Lanasa earned an Emmy nomination for her work at the premiere season of the “The Pitt” series as Dana Evans, the aid nurse in Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center.
‘There was something I already did [for Season 2] And I told the producer that I think I needed some jewelry for it. As if he had to give me some diamonds, “Lanasa said laughing.” You will see. It is in episode 2. It is disgusting. “
Lanasa explained how she gets through such scenes. “I came out of my body when it happened,” she said. “I am preparing to just go outside of my body when it happens.”
Lanasa also spoke about the diagnosis of stage 1 breast cancer about a year before she booked ‘The Pitt’. “When I got the set for the first time, I was activated a bit because, after you have cancer, you only go to the hospital,” she said. “I was only about six months old to go to the hospital when I got the job and I thought,” Oh, I’m back in the hospital “, but it went away very quickly. The feeling of being a bit coolable for the set went away very quickly.”
Production of season 2 officially in June with filming that takes place at the Warner Bros. Lot in Burbank, CA, with outside on location in Pittsburgh, Pa. As previously announced, season 2 is planned to debut in January 2026.
Season 1, which consisted of 15 episodes, was structured in a way in which each episode took place in an hour of a 15 -hour service in the hospital. Season 2 will pick up 10 months after the events of the first season, on the weekend of the fourth July.
Season 1 earned 13 Emmy nominations, including protagonist in a drama series for Noah Wyle and supporting actress in a drama series for Lanasa.
The Emmys will be handed out on September 14. Last votes runs on August 18-27.
