The Grey’s Anatomy spinoff will live to save lives for another season. ABC has renewed Station 19 for season two.
The series was not an out-of-the-gate hit for the network but has done respectably well ratings-wise, averaging a 1.08 in the key 18-49 demo and 5.4 million viewers. I think the network believes there is room for growth and there is a lot of potential for crossovers within the franchises.
Station 19, from Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes’ Shondaland and written by Grey’s executive producer/co-showrunner Stacy McKee, follows a group of heroic firefighters in Washington’s largest city. From the captain to the newest recruit, the show revolves around the men and women as they risk their lives and hearts both in the line of duty and off the clock. The series stars Jaina Lee Ortiz, Jason George, Jay Hayden, Alberto Frezza, Grey Damon, Okieriete Onaodowan, Danielle Savre and Miguel Sandoval.
