Development

On January 11, 2022, ABC renewed the series for a sixth season. Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers returned as executive producers.[4] Krista Vernoff returned as showrunner as part of a two-year deal with ABC.[5] During the writing process for the season, an episode was written where a character used a racial slur multiple times, which led to a pause of the writers room. It was revealed that there had been similar racial incidents in the past.[6] As a result, Zoanne Clack was named head writer and executive producer, replacing Kiley Donovan.[7] Vernoff stepped down as showrunner at the end of the season.[8]

Casting

The entire main cast from the fifth season returned for the sixth season except for Okieriete Onaodowan, who left partway through the previous season.[6] Josh Randall and Merle Dandridge were upped to series regulars after recurring the previous season. Pat Healy was also upped to a series regular after recurring the past several seasons.[9] Kelly Thiebaud reprised her role as Eva Vasquez from the third season.[10]

Release

When the 2022–23 United States network television schedule was announced, Station 19 would remain on Thursdays at 8:00 PM.[11] The season premiered on October 6, 2022.[12] The mid-season finale air on November 10, 2022 as part of a crossover event.[13]

In the United Kingdom, episodes were released weekly starting October 26, 2022 on Disney+.[14]
