Station 19’s unveiling of their characters within Grey’s Anatomy on March 1st garnered 2.0, 7.5M views, hopefully meaning those viewers will move over and watch Station 19 when it premieres. As the premiere becomes closer, more actors have been announced who have signed on for roles. Mistress alum Brett Tucker will appear for a multi-episode arc. More notably, the Station 19 was released during the 90th Academy Awards on Sunday, sparking more excitement and twitter action then before. Derek Haas, Chicago Fire creator, tweeted after the airing of the trailer, “That is so cool they showed clips from our old pilot during the Oscar–. Ohhhh. Whoops. Disregard that.” This is due to the similarity between Chicago Fire and Station 19, and the fact that ABC had previously admitted that Chicago Fire’s success had made it difficult to name the show. Meanwhile, Jason Winston George was doing a Q and A during the Grey’s Anatomy Crossover event, along with Station 19 tweeting and Jaina Lee Ortiz retweeting gifs of her from the episode.
