Here's everything there is to know about Station 19 season 5 so far, including its release date, cast, and story details. Created by Stacy McKee, Station 19 is the second spin-off in the Grey's Anatomy universe, after Private Practice. The series follows the lives of the women and men at Seattle Fire Station 19. The series was introduced during Grey's Anatomy season 14, specifically in episode 13.
Station 19's season 4 finale, entitled "Forever and Ever, Amen," ended on a cliffhanger. Maya Bishop was fired as captain after she decided to use a fire engine to get an eight-year-old to the hospital faster and save his life when no AID cars were left to take him to the hospital. This decision didn't go well with Maya's higher-ups, who were displeased with her work as captain.
Station 19 received a series order from ABC during May 2017. Most of the characters were cast by October, and filming for the series predominantly took place in Los Angeles. It was not surprising when the series was renewed for Season 5 in May 2021, considering it's the network's second-highest-rated scripted series.
Station 19 Season 5 Renewal
Station 19 was renewed for season 5 in May 2021. Currently, 59 episodes of Station 19 have aired, including season 4. The series, which McKee produces with Shonda Rhimes, will film from august 2021 through April 2022. Ellen Pompeo, who notably plays Meredith Grey on the series's predecessor Grey's Anatomy, is credited as another executive producer, alongside Betsy Beers, Paris Barclay, and Krista Vernoff. There's no word yet on the future of the series following the fifth season.

Station 19 Season 5 Story & How It Ties To Grey's Anatomy
The official synopsis for Station 19's premiere episode entitled "Pheonix from the Flame" will be a crossover event with Grey's Anatomy and feature the Annual Phoenix Festival. The synopsis teases challenging times ahead for relationships. After his actions at Maya and Carina's wedding last season, Robert and Andrea's relationship is expected to be in question. Dean will also tackle his feelings for Victoria, who got back together with Theo at the end of season 4. Fans can expect that the new installment will feature the love triangle between Victoria, Theo, and Dean.
Station 19 and Grey's Anatomy have many connections. Due to their shared location, the Station 19 unit often transports victims to Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital, passing them onto Grey's Anatomy characters as well as on occasion being treated when hurt. There have also been crossover relationships such as Maya and Carina and Ben and Miranda.
