After seven riveting seasons filled with firefighting heroics and personal challenges, ABC’s Station 19 is preparing to close its doors for good. The network officially confirmed the news on December 9, 2023, declaring that the upcoming seventh season will be the last for the beloved series.
Premiering in 2018 as a spin-off of the enduring medical drama Grey’s Anatomy, Station 19 quickly captivated audiences by delving into the lives of firefighters at Station 19 in Seattle. The series boasted an ensemble cast featuring Jaina Lee Ortiz as Andy Herrera, Jason Winston George as Ben Warren, Barrett Doss as Maya Bishop, and Grey Damon as Jack Gibson.
Despite consistently ranking among ABC’s top-rated shows, Station 19 experienced a decline in viewership in recent seasons, leading to the bittersweet decision to conclude the series. Karey Burke, president of ABC Entertainment, expressed gratitude to the cast and crew for their dedicated work and acknowledged the show’s status as a fan favorite and a cornerstone of ABC’s Thursday night lineup.
“We are excited to bring fans a powerful and satisfying conclusion to the series with its final season,” stated Burke, marking the end of an era for ABC as Station 19 bids adieu.
The seventh and ultimate season of Station 19 is set to premiere on March 14, 2024, at 10 p.m. ET on ABC. The season will consist of 18 episodes, offering fans an extended opportunity to say their goodbyes and witness the culmination of the characters’ journeys.
As Station 19 concludes its run, it leaves behind a legacy as one of ABC’s most cherished dramas, having left an indelible mark on viewers over the years. The farewell to the flames will undoubtedly be a poignant moment for fans who have followed the characters’ triumphs and tribulations since the show’s inception.
