The second major Grey's Anatomy spinoff, Station 19 had a great seven-season run. The show had some value skipping even with just over 100 episodes. Find out the lowdown on the top ABC drama episodes to see.
Station 19 Synopsis
From 2018 to 2024, Station 19 ran seven seasons ending with 105 episodes of varied degrees of quality and several crossovers with Grey's Anatomy, its parent show. Third Grey's Anatomy spinoff, Station 19 tracked Dr. Ben Warren as he moved from surgical residency to firefighting. Unlike the first spinoff, Private Practice, which happened in Los Angeles, Station 19 happened in Seattle. This meant that character appearances occurred throughout both shows rather than only in crossover episodes.
Cancel Station 19
Although the finale let the show close on a high note, Station 19 was canceled after seven seasons.
