Station 19 is sticking around for another season on ABC. The network has given the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff the go-ahead for a third season and it’s getting a new showrunner in the process.
Krista Vernoff, who has helped revitalize Grey’s Anatomy since she rejoined the veteran medial drama in 2017 as executive producer/showrunner, will also take over the spinoff series in the same capacity, providing a seamless crossover narrative on both series. She will replace Station 19 creator Stacy McKee who served as EP/showrunner on the first two seasons.
Powered by strong delayed-viewing gains, the recent Grey’s Anatomy-Station 19 crossover event drove ABC to win the Thursday 8:00-10:00 PM time slot among Adults 18-49 after three days of TV playback, with Grey’s Anatomy matching a 5-week high and Station 19 soaring to its 2nd highest-rated telecast ever.
The series 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 ensemble cast features Jaina Lee Ortiz, Jason George, Boris Kodjoe, Grey Damon, Barrett Doss, Alberto Frezza, Jay Hayden, Okieriete Onaodowan, Danielle Savre, and Miguel Sandoval.
