ABC's popular firefighter drama series, Station 19, is set to bid farewell after its upcoming seventh season. The decision to end the show was made during early production of the final season to allow for a proper conclusion to the storyline.
Station 19, a spin-off of Grey's Anatomy, premiered in March 2018 and has been a fan favorite since its inception. The show revolves around the lives of brave firefighters at the Seattle Fire Department's Station 19 and has garnered a loyal following over the years.
Despite consistently ranking as ABC's second-highest drama series, with an average of 8.3 million viewers in Season 6, the network made the tough call to cancel the show. The cancellation reportedly stemmed from ABC's strategic decision to streamline its programming lineup and balance scripted content with reality TV and live sports.
The news of Station 19's cancelation came as a shock to many, including the show's cast and crew. The final season, comprising only 10 episodes due to production delays caused by industry strikes, will bring closure to the beloved series.
Lead stars of the show, Jaina Lee Ortiz and Jason George, expressed mixed emotions about the unexpected ending. While they are saddened by the show's conclusion, they are grateful for the opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments and stories shared throughout the seven seasons.
Station 19's final season is scheduled to premiere on March 14, 2024, airing on Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. Fans can catch new episodes on demand and on Hulu the following day.
As the show prepares to wrap up its storyline, viewers can expect a rollercoaster of emotions and impactful narratives in the last season. The teaser for Season 7 hints at intense plotlines, character developments, and gripping moments that will captivate audiences until the very end.
