ABC's popular drama series, "Station 19," is set to premiere its highly anticipated seventh and final season tonight. As fans eagerly await the season's debut, showrunners Zoanne Clack, MD, MPH, and Peter Paige are expressing their gratitude for the overwhelming support from passionate viewers who have rallied behind the show's #SaveStation19 movement.

When asked what more fans can do to support the series, Paige emphasized the importance of tuning in to watch each episode. "They gotta watch," he stated during a recent interview with Deadline. Clack echoed this sentiment, acknowledging that fans have already gone to great lengths to save the show. From USA Today advertisements to billboards in Times Square, the supporters have made their voices heard. However, the showrunners believe that the ultimate show of support lies in viewership.

In addition to watching the show, Clack encouraged fans to engage in discussions on social media about the episodes as they air. By actively participating in conversations surrounding the show, fans can help generate buzz and further demonstrate their dedication.

"Station 19" has garnered a strong following over the years, propelled in part by its frequent crossovers with the immensely popular series "Grey's Anatomy." Ranked as ABC's second highest-rated drama series behind "Grey's," the show has earned critical acclaim for its tackling of important and often challenging subjects.

Notably, "Station 19" received a Sentinel Award from Hollywood, Health & Society for its depiction of systemic racism in its sixth season. The series has consistently pushed boundaries by exploring socially relevant themes, and Clack and Paige are committed to maintaining that inclusive storytelling in the final season.

As the series reaches its conclusion, "Station 19" will reach an impressive milestone with its 100th episode in the seventh season. Despite challenges posed by the recent double Hollywood strikes, the show has managed to deliver compelling storytelling throughout its run. With 95 episodes aired to date, the final season will consist of 10 episodes.

Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Clack teased viewers with exciting and diverse storytelling. "We've got a lot of action coming up, but we've also got some smaller episodes on which we're putting our fingerprint," she shared. The show aims to expand its storytelling boundaries within the firefighting realm, offering fans a variety of engaging narratives.

The showrunners expressed their gratitude towards the fans, acknowledging their unwavering love for the characters and their commitment to supporting the series. With the final season promising both thrilling moments and nuanced storytelling, Clack and Paige hope audiences appreciate the different journeys the characters will embark on.

As "Station 19" prepares to bid farewell, fans are determined to make their voices heard and ensure the show's enduring legacy. The #SaveStation19 movement continues to rally behind this beloved drama, making it clear that the viewers' support has been an integral part of the show's success.

Tonight's premiere marks the beginning of the end for "Station 19," but fans can rest assured that the show's final season will deliver the remarkable storytelling they have come to expect.
