Station 19 is all set to return with a bang for its fifth season, with some new additions to the cast list. Releasing on Thursday, September 30 at 8.00 pm (ET) on ABC, the firefighter series' new season will premiere with a crossover episode with its parent show, Grey’s Anatomy.
While Shonda Rhimes’ Grey’s Anatomy is the most-anticipated ABC series, Station 19 is apparently the network’s second-highest-rated scripted series. The new season, titled Phoenix from the Flame, will deal with an accident and a fire explosion that will involve Station 19’s firefighters.
The official synopsis of the premiere episode of Station 19 Season 5 reads:
“Seattle’s brightest doctors will collide with Seattle’s boldest firefighters in unexpected ways as they work side by side to save lives.”
