Can’t blame a fire hose for the waterworks Friday. They’re all due to the bittersweet video that ABC released ahead of the series finale of Station 19 (airing Thursday, May 30, at 10/9c). “I don’t think anyone is ready to say goodbye,” leading lady Jaina Lee Ortiz (aka Capt. Andy Herrera) admits at the top of the clip. And that most definitely includes viewers.
“We have such an amazing and strong fan base,” marvels Boris Kodjoe (Lt. Robert Sullivan). Which makes it all the harder to accept that, after seven seasons, ABC cancelled the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff when it is both beloved by its audience and at the top of its game creatively under new showrunners Zoanne Clack and Peter Paige.
“The support that we’ve had on this show,” adds Danielle Savre (Lt. Maya Bishop), “is something that I could have never imagined.”
Elsewhere in the poignant video, which is full to brimming with clips that’ll make it appear that, ahem, smoke has gotten in our eyes, co-stars unpack their off-screen camaraderie and discuss the impact that the drama and its characters have had on viewers.
Per ABC’s official logline for the series-ending “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You”: “As Station 19 continues to battle an existential wildfire, the team grapples with the possibility of a future that will be changed forever.”
