Station 19 will get more chances to expand the Grey’s Anatomy universe. The Grey’s spinoff, currently in its second season, has earned a full season pickup for season two. The network hasn’t disclosed the exact number but many outlets have reported it is the traditional back-nine which will bring the season 2 count to 22 episodes.
Station 19 got off to a solid season 2 start behind Grey’s Anatomy, with its premiere on par with its Season 1 debut last midseason. The drama’s second episode, part of a Grey’s Anatomy crossover, popped to post series highs. On average, through its first two episodes, the ABC sophomore drama is drawing 7.9 million viewers with a 1.8 in adults 18-49. With no Grey’s last Thursday, Station 19 did drop to series lows so it appears that the lead-in is key for the series.
Station 19 follows a group of heroic firefighters at the titular Seattle Fire Station 19. The drama follows everyone from captain to newest recruit as they risk their lives and their hearts both in the line of duty and off the clock. The series stars Jaina Lee Ortiz as Andy Herrera, Jason George as Ben Warren, Boris Kodjoe as Captain Robert Sullivan, Grey Damon as Jack Gibson, Barrett Doss as Victoria Hughes, Alberto Frezza as Ryan Tanner, Jay Hayden as Travis Montgomery, Okieriete Onaodowan as Dean Miller, Danielle Savre as Maya Bishop and Miguel Sandoval as Pruitt Herrera.
