On May 16, 2017, American Broadcasting Company chief Channing Dungey announced at ABC's upfront presentation that the network had given a straight-to-series order for a second television series. Stacy McKee, a long-time Grey's Anatomy writer and executive producer, would serve as showrunner and executive producer, with Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers also serving as executive producers. The series, set in a Seattle Firehousee station, would follow the lives of a group of firefighters. The order consisted of 10 episodes. When announcing the series, Dungey stated, "No one can interweave the jeopardy firefighters face in the line of duty with the drama in their personal lives quite like Shonda, and Grey's signature Seattle setting is the perfect backdrop for this exciting spin-off." Patrick Moran, president at ABC Studios, added, "We talked [with Shonda] about the elements of Grey's Anatomy that seem to resonate with the audience—emotional storytelling, deep human connection, a high-stakes environment, and strong and empowered women—and those elements will carry over to the spin-off."
In July 2017, Paris Barclay signed on to the series as producing director and executive producer. In January 2018, it was announced that Ellen Pompeo had renewed her contract to portray Meredith Grey through Season 16 of Grey's, in addition to becoming a producer on the show and a co-executive producer on the spin-off. Later that month, ABC announced that the series would be titled Station 19.
An episode of Grey's Anatomy, originally planned to air in fall 2017 but instead airing in March 2018, served as a backdoor pilot for the series. The backdoor pilot episode featured the introduction of the lead character of the spin-off, Andy Herrera, "as a story within the episode" and "showcase a really lovely story for Ben, where we get to juxtapose his two worlds and see his reaction as he transitions from one world to the next."
On May 11, 2018, ABC renewed the series for a second season. The second season premiered on October 4, 2018. On October 19, 2018, it was announced that ABC had ordered a full season for the second season.
