While the Grey’s Anatomy still doesn’t have a title, it does have a premiere date. ABC has announced that the new firefighter drama series will launch on Thursday, March 22, 2018, at 9 pm. The spin-off will have a two hour-premiere. Subsequent single episodes will begin airing on March 29th at 9 pm.
Here’s the Alphabet Network’s description of the firefighter series, as well as some images:
The latest series from the executive producers of “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal” and “How to Get Away with Murder” follows a group of heroic firefighters at Seattle Fire Station 19 – from captain to newest recruit – as they risk their lives and hearts both in the line of duty and off the clock. These brave men and women are like family, literally and figuratively, and together they put their own lives in jeopardy as first responders to save the lives of others.
The series stars Jaina Lee Ortiz as Andy Herrera, Jason George as Ben Warren, Grey Damon as Jack Gibson, Barrett Doss as Victoria Hughes, Alberto Frezza as Ryan Tanner, Jay Hayden as Travis Montgomery, Okieriete Onaodowan as Dean Miller, Danielle Savre as Maya Bishop and Miguel Sandoval as Captain Pruitt Herrera.
The drama is produced by ABC Studios. Stacy McKee (“Grey’s Anatomy”) serves as showrunner and executive producer, along with Shonda Rhimes (“Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal,” “How to Get Away with Murder”) and Betsy Beers (“Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal,” “How to Get Away with Murder”) who also serve as executive producers. Paris Barclay (“Pitch,” “Sons of Anarchy,”) serves as the producing director and executive producer.
What do you think? Do you plan to check out the Grey’s Anatomy spin-off in March? What would you name this show?
I’ll definitely be watching… I love Grey’s Anatomy and still excited to watch it every week so I’ll keep this as my Thursday night line up with Grey’s How to get away with Murder then the spinoff!
I’d be willing to check it out
I have been watching for a very long time, I like the firefighters but Grey’s has had its run, I think.
Hmmm… In 1999, long-running medical series ER’s Michael Beach (produced by John Wells) was kind of “spun off” to play a very similar character on THIRD WATCH (produced by John Wells), about firefighters, paramedics and cops. (The only reason he didn’t play the same character is because one was set in Chicago, the other in NYC.) THIRD WATCH lasted six seasons.
OMG! The same as NBC with Chicago Fire and Chicago Med. Please be original.
I know right. I was thinking the same thing!
