ABC announced today that Station 19 will be ending with this upcoming season.
“For seven seasons, Station 19 has been a highlight of the ABC lineup thanks to Shonda [Rhimes] and Betsy [Beers’] incredible vision, beloved characters and compelling storytelling,” Craig Erwich, president, Disney Television Group told
. “With Zoanne [Clack] and Peter [Paige] at the helm of the upcoming farewell season, we have so much to look forward to, most notably the celebration of the show’s milestone 100th episode.”
Personally, I am surprised by their decision because it does better than Grey’s Anatomy, the show it spun off from. But I guess, now that they got 9-1-1, they thought they don’t need two shows about firefighters. However, CBS doesn’t have a problem with three shows about the FBI, and NBC has six Dick Wolf shows.
9-1-1 and Station 19 might have the same plot, but they are two very different shows. They could have survived on the same night together.
The final ten episodes will begin airing on March 14th.
