Station 19, the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff, will officially wrap up with its upcoming seventh season, allowing producers to give a fitting conclusion to its ensemble cast. The farewell season, consisting of 10 episodes, is set to premiere on March 14, 2024.
Craig Erwich, president of Disney Television Group, expressed enthusiasm for the final season, highlighting the show’s compelling storytelling and character development, particularly celebrating its milestone of reaching 100 episodes. “For seven seasons, Station 19 has been a highlight of the ABC lineup thanks to Shonda and Betsy’s incredible vision,” he said.
Despite solid ratings, Station 19 is part of a broader trend of broadcast networks reducing the number of long-running series. While the show maintained strong viewership, it faced a decline over its six seasons. Experts attribute the cancellation to a combination of budget considerations and a general contraction in scripted programming.
While no specific reasons were given for the end of Station 19, the show’s producers have time to craft a proper farewell. Fans can look forward to a celebration of its legacy, making the ending feel less abrupt and more thoughtful.
