The most recent Grey’s Anatomy spinoff, Station 19, has announced that season 7 will be its last. This news will undoubtedly affect the greater universe that the show is set in.
ABC has not formally revealed why Station 19 is ending with season 7, but the early announcement lets the program conclude on its terms.
Ben Warren of Grey’s Anatomy expanded the universe from Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital to Seattle Fire Department Station 19 in the 2018 premiere of Station 19.
After years of Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19 crossing over, the connection between them appears to be ending along with the spinoff.
Since Station 19 has managed to establish itself apart from its parent show and keep enough continuity to enable seamless crossover episodes, its popularity has increased dramatically.
Even though Season 7 of Station 19 may provide the best possible conclusion to the show, it will still have more significant effects on Grey’s Anatomy.
With the departure of major characters Meredith Grey and Maggie Pierce in the most recent season, the Grey’s Anatomy universe has seen significant upheaval recently.
The universe will suffer another significant blow with the conclusion of Station 19 season 7, which may cause viewers to question whether Grey’s Anatomy should conclude as well.
Is Ben Warren leaving Station 19?
Neither he nor the network has teased his exit.
A new TV spot for Station 19 Season 7, Episode 5, potentially teases a life-or-death situation for Ben Warren, leaving many wondering if he will die.
The trailer ends with Ben Warren telling someone, “Tell Miranda she was worth waiting for,” alluding to his wife Miranda Bailey as the drama plays out in the air and on the ground.
Many fans of the series believe that Warren’s story will end with this line, making his future in the series uncertain.
Meg Marinis, the show runner of Grey’s Anatomy, hinted that she has a rough notion of Station 19’s future ahead of the 2024 crossover between the two series.
Speaking in an interview, she indicated that Ben and Miranda’s relationship “will continue to cross over,” with actors Jason George and Chandra Wilson adamant about making their moments on both series “one symbiotic thing:”
These quotes suggest that Ben Warren is not going to die, and Marinis suggests that their relationship will continue later in the narrative.
She also emphasized her “amazing professional and personal relationship” with Zoanne Clack and Peter Paige, the new show runners for Station 19.
Although Season 7 is Station 19’s last season, the show runner’s remarks seem to suggest Ben Warren will not pass away in this upcoming episode—a surprising development given how significant that would be for the program.
Due to the delays from the writers’ and actors’ strikes, Season 7 will only have 10 episodes. That could further indicate something bad is coming for Ben Warren, with this episode possibly being meant to bring one or more game-changing moments.
However, chances are high that Ben will walk away with his life considering Marinis’ quotes about his and Miranda’s story living on past this week.
It all leaves fans anxious to find out what the team has in store for this veteran hero.
