Station 19 Canceled Ahead of Seventh Season


Pre-season cancellations continue to roll in, as ABC has now announced that its firefighter drama and Grey's Anatomy spinoff, Station 19, will end after its upcoming seventh season. The series has been a solid ratings performer for ABC, rating as their #1 drama and #3 scripted show overall last season with a 0.47 average. Despite this, there were some warning signs, as ABC opted to shift the show to 10 PM this season in their midseason schedule, to make room at 8 PM for fellow firefighter drama 9-1-1, which moves to ABC from Fox this season. That was despite the show rating higher than its parent series, which stayed put in its previous 9 PM slot. Contracts for Station 19's cast members were also up this season, and renegotiations would have led to a much higher production cost for the series going forward. Despite producing seven seasons, the series will end without ever airing a full twenty-two episode season, as full seasons become an increasing rarity in the TV world. Its final season will run for ten episodes, bringing the series' cumulative run to 105 episodes. Jaina Lee Ortiz, Jason George, Boris Kodjoe, Grey Damon and Barrett Doss starred in the series.

Station 19 Renewed by ABC

ABC's renewals continue to pour in, this time announcing a seventh season pickup of Grey's Anatomy spinoff Station 19. The series currently ranks as the Alphabet Network's #1 drama, with a 0.47 average in the key 18-49 demo. It is also the network's #3 scripted program overall, only behind comedies The Conners and Abbott Elementary. Station 19 debuted in 2018 as the second spinoff of Grey's Anatomy and has become a valuable player for the network after a shaky start, notably strengthening following a move to 8 PM. This season it surpassed its parent series in the 18-49 live+same-day demo, after multiple seasons as ABC's #2 drama. The pickup is the fourth renewal by ABC overall this week and the sixth overall this season. Jaina Lee Ortiz, Jason George, Grey Damon, Barrett Doss, Boris Kodjoe and Stefania Spampinato lead the cast of the series, which will surpass 100 episodes in its just-ordered seventh season. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.

Station 19 Renewed For Fifth Season by ABC

The firefighters of Station 19 will be back to keep Seattle safe in the 2021-22 season. ABC has ordered a fifth season of the Grey's Anatomy spinoff. Though it started out disappointingly in the ratings department, the show has gone on to be one of ABC's strongest shows, and is their second highest-rated scripted series with a 0.87 average. Jaina Lee Ortiz, Boris Kodjoe, Jason George, Grey Damon, Okieriete Onaodowan and Danielle Savre star in the series. This is a correct prediction for The TV Ratings Guide.
