Station 19 Season 3 was officially renewed days before the second season finale. Fans thought that the show would drop new episodes come the spring season. However, it has been recently revealed that the new season schedule will be replaced by another ABC series, A Million Little Things Season 2.
Little information has been shared about the new changes. But, while Shondaland's fall line-up has been "broken up" as per Cheat Sheet, fans are ensured that Station 19 Season 3 will premiere in 2020.
Stacy McKee, who served as the showrunner for the first two seasons, has already exited the position. As a replacement, Grey's Anatomy showrunner Krista Vernoff took the spot to oversee the upcoming installments.
No further details were disclosed about these changes. According to Deadline, Shonda Rhimes shared that getting Krista Vernoff onboard was not a difficult decision to make. She also pointed out that Vernoff's "creativity" will effectively help the show's growth in the future.
Fans are convinced that this is only fitting, considering that Grey's Anatomy and Station 19 share the same world. Having the same showrunner will be very beneficial to both of the Shondaland shows.
Crossover episodes between the two shows have already been witnessed in the past. It has been reported that this dynamic will continue to progress as the shows move forward to new seasons.
Pop Culture recently revealed that Station 19 Season 3 would have more crossover episodes with Grey's Anatomy. To to make the shared-world much more realistic, both storylines will be further intertwined by a romance.
As reported, a close romance between characters from both of the shows will be introduced when Season 3 arrives on the network. As to who these characters are, no one knows for sure.
Shared-universe among series is a challenging dynamic. Nevertheless, Krista Vernoff promises its audience that Grey's Anatomy and Station 19 will still have isolated identities. The hinted romance that is about to surface in the coming installments will just serve as a bridge between the two shows.
Upon revealing the teasing details, many are already attracted to the idea. Aside from attracting the audience, this makes Station 19 Season 3 much more exciting. This is why many are already looking forward to its arrival on ABC.
Although it may take a few more months, the newly released teasers have seemingly put all fans' worries to rest. The only thing that is left for the fandom to do is to wait patiently and enjoy the points of the progress of these Shondaland series materials.
