After news broke that Grey’s Anatomy firefighter spinoff Station 19 after its upcoming seventh season, fans broke into a frenzy on Twitter. The beloved series was not expected to be ending so soon, and Shondaland founder and executive producer Shonda Rhimes reacted to the surprising cancellation. She said she was “grateful” for Station 19‘s “unforgettable run.”
Now fans are giving their own thoughts on the cancellation, and it’s more anger than sadness. Between the fact that predecessor Grey’s Anatomy is still going strong with 20 seasons and the LGBTQ+ representation, most notably with Danielle Savre and Stefania Spampinato’s Maya and Carina, respectively, they are hoping more than ever that this won’t be it. They have also taken the liberty of starting their own petition in order to try to save the show, with plenty of hashtags such as #SaveStation19 and #DoNotCancelStation19 to go around as well, and they are not going down without a fight.
