Production

Development

On May 16, 2017, ABC chief Channing Dungey announced at ABC's upfront presentation that the network had given a straight-to-series order for a second Grey's Anatomy spin-off. Stacy McKee, a long-term Grey's writer and executive producer, will serve as showrunner and executive producer, with Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers also serving as executive producers. Additionally, Emmy Award winning director and former DGA president, Paris Barclay, was tapped to serve as the producing director and executive producer.[7] The series, which would be set in a Seattle firehouse, would follow the lives of a group of firefighters.[8] The order consisted of 10 episodes.[2] When announcing the series, Dungey said, "No one can interweave the jeopardy firefighters face in the line of duty with the drama in their personal lives quite like Shonda, and Grey's signature Seattle setting is the perfect backdrop for this exciting spinoff."[9] Patrick Moran, president at ABC Studios, added that "We talked [with Shonda] about the elements of Grey's Anatomy that seem to resonate with the audience — emotional storytelling, deep human connection, a high-stakes environment and strong and empowered women — and those elements will carry over to the spinoff."[10] In July 2017, Paris Barclay signed on to the series as producing director and executive producer.[11] In January 2018, it was announced that Ellen Pompeo had renewed her contract to portray Meredith Grey through season 16 of Grey's, in addition to becoming a producer on the show and a co-executive producer on the spin-off.[12] Later that month, ABC announced that the series would be titled Station 19.[13]

An episode of Grey's Anatomy, originally planned to air in fall 2017 but instead set to air in March 2018, will serve as a backdoor pilot for the series.[11][14] The backdoor pilot episode will feature the introduction of the lead character of the spin-off, Andy Herrera, "as a story within the episode" and "showcase a really lovely story for Ben, where we get to just juxtapose his two worlds and see his reaction as he transitions from one world to the next".[14]

Casting

On July 26, 2017, Jaina Lee Ortiz was cast as the female lead.[15] In September 2017, it was announced that Jason George, who has played Dr. Ben Warren since season 6 of Grey's Anatomy, would be leaving the series to join the spin-off as a series regular. He is expected to continue to be a series regular on Grey's until production on the spin-off begins.[16] On October 6, Grey Damon was cast as Lieutenant Jack, Jay Hayden as Travis, Okieriete Onaodowan as Dean, Danielle Savre as Maya, and Barrett Doss as Victoria.[17][18][2] They were shortly followed by Miguel Sandoval as Captain Pruitt,[19] and Alberto Frezza as police officer Ryan.[20]

Filming

Filming for the series began on October 18, 2017,[21] and is set to conclude on April 2, 2018.[citation needed] Filming for the series takes place primarily in Los Angeles.[14]
