Development At the end of the second season, Stacy McKee stepped down as showrunner after her overall deal with ABC Studios expired. In May 2019, the series was renewed for a third season with Krista Vernoff as showrunner to provide more seamless crossovers with ''Grey's Anatomy. Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers remained executive producers, and Paris Barclay remained executive producer and producing director. Production on the season was completed before the coronavirus production shutdown. Crossover elements from the season finale needed to be edited out because four Grey's Anatomy'' episodes could not be filmed due to the pandemic. Casting The entire main cast from the second season, except for Alberto Frezza, returned for the third season. In February 2020, it was reported that Jonathan Bennett would appear as the late husband of Travis. Phylicia Rashad would play a blizzard victim named Pilar in the same episode. ==Release==

When the 2019–20 United States network television schedule was announced, Station 19 was held for mid-season. The third season premiered on January 23, 2020 with a crossover event, while also taking over the Thursday 8:00 PM timeslot of ''Grey's Anatomy, which moved to 9:00 PM. After the COVID-19 pandemic truncated production of Grey's Anatomy, Station 19'' was moved to Thursdays at 9:00 PM for the remainder of the season. ==Reception==

Critical Response Charlie Mason of TVLine stated that the show had improved, possibly due to Krista Vernoff's takeover of the show, because the uninteresting love triangle of the previous season were now replaced with romantic storylines that were much more engrossing. Laura Hurley of CinemaBlend felt that having so many crossover characters from ''Grey's Anatomy was detrimental to the development of Station 19'''s characters and that it was more interesting when focusing on its own characters.
