I was as upset as anyone that Station 19 was canceled after seven seasons. The show had a way of facing today’s most controversial issues head-on, and I absolutely fell in love with its diverse cast. But the showrunners have now spoken out about what we might have seen had the Grey’s Anatomy spinoff been renewed for Season 8 on the 2025 TV schedule, and I have to admit, I prefer the way some of these stories played out on Station 19’s series finale.
Vic’s Finale Story Was Much More Satisfying Than What Was Planned For Season 8, In My Opinion
In the final episode of Station 19 (which can be streamed with a Hulu subscription), all of our heroes flashed forward to show a glimpse of what their futures might look like. For Vic Hughes (Barrett Doss), we saw that Crisis One had become a national success, and she and bestie Travis Montgomery (Jay Hayden) were living their best life, vacationing together in Paris. However, had there been a Season 8, Peter Paige told EW:
We might have set Vic off on an adventure before she came back, realizing how much she missed her family and how much she needed to be back with everyone in Seattle.
He said in this scenario, Travis wouldn’t have followed Vic to DC, and let’s be real, their platonic love story was one of the best parts of that finale. Also, if Vic only left temporarily, she wouldn’t be carrying on Dean Miller’s legacy, and we would have been robbed of that cameo by Okieriete Onaodowan — his first appearance on the series since his heartbreaking Station 19 death in Season 5.
