Station 19 has been renewed for a third season. Along with the renewal, it’s gained a Grey’s Anatomy showrunner.

I don’t think we really needed to be worried about the fate of the show, but it’s always good to get confirmation. Station 19 has been renewed for a third season by ABC, bringing a new showrunner at the same time.

Last month, Stacy McKee stepped down as showrunner for the fire drama. With the renewal, Grey’s Anatomy showrunner, Krista Vernoff, has stepped into the role. She will continue to oversee everything with the parent show at the same time.

Does this mean we’ll have more crossovers? More than likely. It also means that we may see characters from each show appear in odd episodes that aren’t official crossover events, similar to the way One Chicago routinely has the odd character appear in other shows now and then.

The renewal comes off the back of news about other TGIT shows. Grey’s Anatomy has unsurprisingly been renewed, this time for two seasons, meaning we’ll have the medical drama until 2021. How to Get Away With Murder has also been renewed for a sixth season. There are no words on whether this will be the last.

For the People was the only TGIT drama to be canceled. The news came late last night, kicking off the bigger announcements for ABC ahead of its Upfront Presentation on May 14.

Station 19 will likely keep its fall placement, after being moved there due to a strong freshman midseason placement. It remains one of the top dramas for ABC, so renewing was a no-brainer.

12 freshman shows likely to be canceled in May 2019. dark. Next
