‘Station 19’ Cast and Producers Look Back on 100 Episodes, Diverse Storytelling and the Surprise Cancellation


As 'Station 19' heads into its final deason, cast and producers discuss the firefighter series' 100th episode, diverse strotyelling and surprise cancellation.

Just three days into production on Season 7 of the “Grey’s Anatomy” spinoff, as plans for a celebratory 100th episode were beginning to develop, new showrunners Peter Paige and Zoanne Clack learned that the show had been canceled. She’s so grateful to have made it to 100, but it’s a number that also makes her feel “a little old.” Her knees and her back aren’t the same as they once were, because, while the fires might not be real, the gear is still heavy — a constant reminder that being a firefighter is a physically demanding job, and not all can handle or survive it. “Station 19” has weathered many ups and downs over the years as showrunners and actors have come and gone, but Ortiz considers the seismic events of 2020 — the global health pandemic and death of George Floyd — to be a turning point.
