After weeks of fans campaigning for ABC to #SaveStation19, the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff’s series finale is finally here. But is Station 19 ending for good or was it saved in a miraculous turn of events? There’s at least some good news.
Is Station 19 ending for good?
Though Station 19‘s fans, cast and crew campaigned for ABC to uncancel the series or for it to be renewed by another network, it doesn’t look like it will be saved. Unlike S.W.A.T. — which was cancelled and then uncancelled by CBS a month before its finale — there was no such announcement for Station 19 prior to its series finale on May 30, 2024.
However, that doesn’t mean that the story is over completely. Grey’s Anatomy showrunner Meg Marinis confirmed in an interview with Deadline in March 2024 that Jason George (who plays Ben Warren) and Stefania Spaminato (who plays Dr. Carina DeLuca) will still remain a part of the medical drama after Station 19’s finale. (Ben is married to Grey’s Anatomy original character, Dr. Miranda Bailey, while Carina is an OB/GYN attending at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital and the sister of the late character, Dr. Andrew DeLuca.)

“I haven’t read their last two episodes yet. I know generally where they’re going,” Marinis said at the time. “What I can tell you is that the Bailey and Ben relationship will continue to cross over. Those two actors love crossing over and it’s very important to them that what they do over here and what they do over there, that it’s one symbiotic thing.”
Marinis also confirmed that she has a “great working relationship and great personal relationship ” with Station 19 showrunners Zoanne Clack and Peter Paige. “We’re constantly on the phone because I want to be able to help them any way I can succeed in telling amazing ends to their stories — whether it’s a crossover medical case or whether it’s Ben crossing over, whether it’s Carina crossing over. We’ll definitely see Carina on Grey’s at one point,” she said.
George, who also appeared as a series regular on Grey’s Anatomy on Seasons 11 to 13, also told The Hollywood Reporter in May 2024 that fans will still see Ben after Station 19‘s finale. “I like to think that there’s still a Ben-Bailey, or Benley, story to tell,” he said. He continued, “I think that’s a possibility. There may be conversations.”
News broke that Station 19 was ending after seven seasons in December 2023. Following the news, fans campaigned for ABC or another network to save Station 19 with the viral hashtag #SaveStation19, as well as putting up billboards in cities like New York City and Los Angeles. When asked about the campaign by Deadline in March 2024, Paige and Clack explained that the best way for fans to save Station 19 was to watch the final season and boost its ratings. (In comparison, S.W.A.T. was uncancelled by CBS after its high Netflix viewership over the summer of 2023.)
“They gotta watch,” Paige told Deadline during a recent chat when asked what else fans can do,” Paige said. Clack added, “I’m not sure they can do much more than they’ve been doing.” Paige continued, “Yes, the USA Today advertisements and the Billboards in Times Square—but they still need to watch.”
Though Station 19 hasn’t been saved, it’s understandable why fans hoped that the series would be uncancelled given ABC’s history of saving shows before. In May 2023, news broke that ABC had renewed 9-1-1 for a seventh season after FOX cancelled the series after six seasons. ABC also renewed American Idol for a 16th season in 2018 after it was cancelled by FOX two years prior.
Station 19 is available to stream on Hulu.
