Station 19 Stars Reveal Show Was 'So Close' To Being Saved By Netflix, And Now I'm Upset Again About Its Cancellation

It’s been over a month since we said goodbye to the Seattle Fire Department. Station 19as the Grey’s Anatomy spin-off was cancelled after its seventh season. We’ll see Jason George Returns in Medical Drama As Ben Warren, it was a little heartbreaking to see the other actors like Danielle Savre moves on to other concerts. All hopes of saving the show were dashed when the The series finale happened in a flash to the future of every firefighter, but two of them Station 19The stars of ‘s revealed how close we were to getting that long-awaited eighth season, and now I’m overwhelmed all over again.

Fans were devastated when it was announced that Station 19The shortened seventh season would be its last, and a petition to save the show The signers immediately began collecting signatures. It was hoped that Shonda Rhimes’s connection to Netflix could be the lifeline the show needed, and while it never worked out, it may have been closer to reality than we all imagined. Soaps.com reports that at a convention, Danielle Savre and Stefania Spampinato seemed to indicate that the series had almost aired picked up by streaming serviceActress Carina DeLuca told fans:

It’s amazing what you did for Station 19. The Netflix deal was an opportunity for a second, thanks to you.

Danielle Savre, who plays Carina’s wife Maya Bishop on the show, seemed to confirm this. She looked at Stefania Spampinato before greeting fans and saying:

Yeah. So close.

That sound you just heard is Marina Stans’ broken hearts breaking all over again in the same places. We’ve only just begun to accept the fact that Danielle Savre has joined the cast of Findwhat was renewed for a second season on NBC, and it’s Stefania Spampinato unlikely to return Grey’s Anatomy in a meaningful capacity. We now have to live with the knowledge that there may have, in fact, been talks to move forward Station 19 to Netflix?

I cry for Marina’s babies that we will not see grow up.

Of course yes Station 19 had been picked up for an eighth season — regardless of platform — the finale we saw would have been completely different. Because showrunners Peter Paige and Zoanne Clack knew before the final season began that the the series endedThey were able to put a special emphasis on each firefighter’s story, and I think they did it in a very satisfying way.

With Grey Damon Jack Gibson forced to stop fighting fires; With Vic Hughes (Barrett Doss) and Travis Montgomery (Jay Hayden) heading to Washington, D.C.; and Ben Warren returning to Grey Sloan to complete his medical residency, the writers truly closed this chapter of the firehouse’s history.

This is all to say that the decision to authorize Station 19 The ending had to be final before the final episode could be written, so I’d be very interested to know at what point in the process conversations with Shonda Rhimes and/or Netflix took place.

No matter how close we were to getting more of our favorite Seattle firefighters, it’s all over now. However, fans can still relive the series as much as they want, with all seven seasons available to stream with a Hulu SubscriptionAlso keep an eye on the TV Schedule 2024 For Grey’s AnatomySeason 21 premiere date.
