Station 19’s showrunner addressed what the future holds for Ben Warren (played by Jason Winston George) as many believe he could die in an upcoming episode.
Originally starting as a surgical resident in Grey’s Anatomy, Ben Warren quickly became an important member of the team as a firefighter at the Station 19 firehouse.
Receiving a medal for bravery at the end of Season 6, Warren has seen more than his fair share of danger and adversity in his time on the show, which is now confirmed to end after Season 7.A new TV spot for Station 19 Season 7, Episode 5 potentially teases a life-or-death situation for Ben Warren, leaving many wondering if he will die.
The trailer sets the story at Seattle’s biggest landmark, the Space Needle, as the Station 19 firefighters have to climb to the top of the structure to put out a fire.
As the drama unfolds in the air and on the ground, the trailer ends with Ben Warren saying to somebody, “Tell Miranda she was worth waiting for,” referencing his wife, Miranda Bailey. This line has many fans believing this will be the end of the line for Warren, leaving his future in the series uncertain.
Grey’s Anatomy showrunner Meg Marinis teased that she knows the general idea of where Station 19 is going ahead of the two series’ upcoming 2024 crossover.
Speaking to Deadline, she indicated that Ben and Miranda’s relationship “will continue to cross over,” with actors Jason George and Chandra Wilson adamant about making their moments on both series “one symbiotic thing:”
“I haven’t read their last two episodes yet. I know generally where they’re going. What I can tell you is that the Bailey and Ben relationship will continue to cross over. Those two actors love crossing over and it’s very important to them that what they do over here and what they do over there, that it’s one symbiotic thing.”
Based on these quotes, Ben Warren appears to be safe from death, with Marinis indicating his relationship with Miranda will live on further into the story.
She also highlighted her “great working relationship and great personal relationship” with new Station 19 showrunners Zoanne Clack & Peter Paige.
