ABC has renewed its firefighter drama "Station 19" for a third season with a familial new showrunner.
Krista Vernoff, who has helped revitalize "Grey’s Anatomy" since she rejoined the veteran medial drama in 2017 as executive producer/showrunner, will also take over the spin-off series in the same capacity, providing a seamless crossover narrative on both series.
She will replace "Station 19" creator Stacy McKee who served as EP/showrunner on the first two seasons before exiting last month.
Powered by strong delayed-viewing gains, the recent crossover event drove ABC to win the Thursday 8-10 PM time slot among Adults 18-49 after three days of TV playback, with "Grey’s Anatomy" matching a 5-week high and "Station 19" soaring to its 2nd highest-rated telecast ever.
