Station 19 Series Finale Features One Death
While the Station 19 goodbye keeps clear of any significant character death, the Series Finale features an unexpected death; Kate Powell (Kiele Sanchez) gets caught in a fire tornado trying to save Seattle from a threatening wildfire. Appearing in seven episodes total, the character joined the squad to cover for the ailing Dr. Ben Warren.
By highlighting the threats the key characters have encountered since the Grey's Anatomy spinoff started in 2018 without sacrificing one of them, Kate's death respects the spinoff. It also preserves the possibility for some of the Station 19 characters to carry on, especially with rumors of Jason George, who portrays Ben, maybe making a reappearance on Grey's Anatomy season 21. Though the ending keeps that option on the table, it's not clear if new characters will surface.
Why didn't Station 19 Series Finale kill any main characters explained by showrunner?
Showrunner for Station 19 Zoanne Clack talks about why the Series Finale omitted any significant deaths. Station 19 season 7 was announced late last year as the last, acting as a curtain call for the firefighters drama that has starred the likes of Jaina Lee Ortiz, Jason George, Grey Damon, Barrett Doss, Jay Hayden, Okieriete Onaodowan, Danielle Savre, Boris Kodjoe, Stefania Spampinato, Carlos Miranda, Josh Randall, Merle Dandridge, Pat Healy. The Station 19 series finale keeps all the major characters alive even with a devastating fire emergency and a sizable ensemble cast.
Clack clarified in an interview with Variety—which included co-Showrunner and finale director Peter Paige—the choice not to kill off any significant series finale character. Clack revealed that some thought about maybe eradicating key characters. In the end, nevertheless, it was deemed that an ending free of grief performed better. See the complete quotation below:
