As Fans Try To 'Save' Canceled 'Station 19,' Shonda Rhimes Speaks Out

After enduring a fall with no new seasons of "Station 19" and "Grey’s Anatomy" due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, fans were relieved when a 2024 premiere date was announced for the Seattle series on ABC. However, our excitement over the return of Andy Herrera (Jaina Lee Ortiz), Maya Bishop (Danielle Savre) and our other favorite first responders was quickly extinguished, with the news that Season 7 of the firefighter drama will be its last. Creator Shonda Rhimes has now spoken out about the cancellation, as viewers started a petition to “Save Station 19.” Station 19 premiered in 2018 as a second spinoff of "Grey’s Anatomy" (following "Private Practice," which ran from 2007 to 2013). Shonda Rhimes paid tribute to the cast in an Instagram post that featured photos of some of the cast members.
