Station 19 Season 3 "Bringing the Heat" Teaser Promo (HD)

  • ABC officially renewed Station 19 for a third season on May 10, 2019.
  • This is the first season without Stacy McKee as showrunner as she departed after the second season. She was replaced by Krista Vernoff, who now serves as showrunner on both Grey's Anatomy and Station 19.
  • This season was moved to mid-season.
  • With Krista Vernoff now helming both shows, the worlds will blend more together. While ABC's entertainment president Karey Burke had previously stated that there would be "weekly cross-overs", she later re-iterated that statement and said that there will likely be only 3 to 4 real cross-over events peppered throughout the season. The goal of the blending together of the world is to mainly bring more of Grey's' DNA to Station 19 than the other way around.[1]
  • Krista also elaborated on the show's timeline to make crossovers happen despite Station 19's mid-season premiere. She stated that Grey's Anatomy's timeline will be used to mark the passing of time for both shows. When Station 19 premieres, it will take place at the same time as the Grey's Anatomy episodes airing then and flashbacks will be used to fill in the time gap between the season two finale and the start of season 3.[2]
  • In October 2019, the crew flew out to Seattle to shoot scenes on location.
  • From this season onwards, there are no voiceovers from Andy Herrera.
  • Production on the season had been wrapped before the corona virus outbreak hit the United States while production on Grey's Anatomy's sixteenth season was shut down with 4 episodes left to film for the season, shortening the season to the 21 episodes that had already been filmed. Unlike Grey's Anatomy, Station 19 remained unaffected by the pandemic and aired its remaining episodes as intended.
