Last Friday was a big day for Peter Paige. Two of his shows, Good Trouble on Freeform and Station 19 on ABC, were cancelled on the same day.
Good Trouble, a spin-off of The Fosters, was created by Paige, Joanna Johnson, and Bradley Bredeweg. The drama stars Cierra Ramirez, Tommy Martinez, Emma Hunton, Sherry Cola, Zuri Adele, Josh Pence, Bryan Craig, and Booboo Stewart, and it follows a group of young friends living in an apartment building in Los Angeles. The fifth and final season of the Freeform series resumes on January 2nd.
As for Station 19, Paige and Zoanne Clack are taking over as co-showrunners on the first responder drama’s seventh and final season. Starring Jaina Lee Ortiz, Jason George, Grey Damon, Barrett Doss, Jay Hayden, Danielle Savre, Boris Kodjoe, Stefania Spampinato, Carlos Miranda, Josh Randall, Merle Dandridge, and Pat Healy, the ABC series follows the firefighters from Seattle Fire Station 19. The series’ final 10 episodes begin airing on March 14th.
Paige said the following about both shows ending via X:
“Well, yesterday was pretty surreal: #Station19 coming to an end, and #GoodTrouble cancelled. Not a great day – still wrapping my head around the news. These shows (along with #TheFosters) have been my home and my family for the more than the last decade.
I’ve been surrounded by such talented, good, kind people who really believe in using the power of TV to make the world a better place. There are not words to express how these shows have changed me, nor for my gratitude.
My love to the casts, the writers, the crews, everyone at Shondaland, the people from the networks who supported the shows, and especially the fans – none of this would have been possible without all of you. Thank you.
And as sad as I am, I am so so so much more grateful. We are truly the lucky ones.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of Good Trouble and Station 19? Did you want the shows to continue beyond their current seasons?
I watched both shows and loved them both. So very disappointed! I don’t know what these people are thinking or that they’re thinking at all. They always take the really good shows off and replace them with crap or put them on some streaming platform not stopping to think that their are a lot of elderly people who either don’t know how or can’t afford to pay for all this streaming.
Love both shows, hope the characters that swapped being main cast on Greys to become main cast on Station 19 get to jump back, espeically Bailey’s husband as their dynamic is such a good watch. Wish all the actors, crew and staff much success in future roles.
I love Station 19 don’t know why they are canceling all the good shows.
No we really like Good Trouble!!!! Station 19 never watched it. Save Good Trouble.
So mad Station 19 is being cancelled!
