The Pitt to have a father-daughter collab as Brad Dourif joins the cast, and fans are excited

The Pitt has achieved a dedicated fan following in a short span of time with its authentic portrayal of the challenges faced by doctors and other medical staff during an emergency room shift. A major highlight of the show is the stellar performance of its cast.

Now, the cast has gotten another exciting addition as veteran actor Brad Dourif will guest star in The Pitt season 1 episode 14, which is scheduled to be aired on April 3, 2025. What makes his arrival even more exciting is that his daughter, Fiona Dourif, is already a part of the main cast.

Fiona Dourif plays Dr. Cassie McKay, a second-year resident doctor who has been an integral part of the first season. Hence, the upcoming episode of The Pitt will mark an on-screen collaboration between the father and daughter duo of Brad Dourif and Fiona Dourif. The development has gotten fans excited, who are expressing their happiness on social media.

Brad Dourif to guest star alongside daughter Fiona Dourif in The Pitt Season 1 Episode 14

Brad Dourif is seen briefly in the promo of The Pitt Season 1, Episode 14, titled 8:00 P.M. In a shot, Brad’s character is seen with Dr. Cassie McKay, who is having an emotional meeting with her son. It seems like Brad will be playing Dr. Cassie’s father, which would reflect their real-life bond on screen.

Dr. McKay has had a hard time dealing with patients in the show so far, just like the rest of the medical staff. Especially in the last few episodes, with the mass shooting victims arriving in the emergency room, all the doctors have been overwhelmed.

In such a situation, Dr. McKay getting a visit from her father and her son would surely ease things out for her. Meanwhile, the episode also marks the penultimate installment in the season, so expect some twists and turns in the story as well, which will lead to the season’s climax.

Interestingly, this is not the first time when Brad and Fiona have teamed up on screen. The two previously starred together in Syfy and USA Network’s horror comedy series, Chucky. Brad voiced the titular character in the show and Fiona played Nica Pierce, who gets possessed by Chucky.
