In a recent fan convention, Station 19 stars Danielle Savre and Stefania Spampinato revealed that the series was very close to being rebooted by Netflix after its cancellation by ABC. This revelation is a bittersweet moment for fans, sparking hope mixed with disappointment.
Background on Station 19
The show, a spinoff of Grey’s Anatomy, followed a group of firefighters and aired for seven seasons. While Grey’s Anatomy continues its run with a 21st season, Station 19 concluded its journey, leaving behind a loyal fanbase. Jason George, who played Dr. Ben Warren, was a key connection between the two shows, transitioning from Grey’s to Station 19.
The Netflix Possibility
Savre and Spampinato confirmed that the potential deal with Netflix was “so close,” hinting at a strong interest from the streaming giant. While the specifics of why the deal didn’t materialize remain unclear, it raises questions about the future of shows after cancellation—especially given Netflix’s history of reviving other popular series like Manifest and Lucifer.
Emotional Farewells
Both actresses expressed deep gratitude to fans for their support throughout the series. Savre, now moving on to new projects, reflected on her journey as Maya Bishop, while Spampinato shared her emotional connection to the show and her hope for a potential return, saying, “Let’s leave it at that. No goodbyes.”
Conclusion
The near-rescue of Station 19 by Netflix is a poignant reminder of how close fans came to seeing their beloved characters continue their stories. As the stars embrace new chapters, the legacy of Station 19 and its impact on viewers will undoubtedly remain strong.
