12 Best Shows Like Station 19 For Fans To Binge Watch Next

If you ever watched "Grey's Anatomy," you may have been drawn into the love life of Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) whose relationship troubles over the course of the series were finally given a happy ending — well, as happy as any ending can be on "Grey's" — when she settled down and married the hunky Dr. Benjamin "Ben" Warren (Jason George), a doctor and a firefighter. His presence opened the door for the second "Grey's Anatomy" spinoff — "Station 19."

After a backdoor pilot on an episode of "Grey's Anatomy," "Station 19" premiered in 2018 and follows the lives of firefighters at the titular fire station in Seattle, Washington. Much like "Grey's," "Station 19" has elements of a procedural along with interpersonal dramas, shocking story lines, and the added benefit of some crazy action scenes. The series also stars Jaina Lee Ortiz as Lieutenant Andy Herrera, Grey Damon as Lieutenant Jack Gibson, Barrett Doss as new firefighter Victoria "Vic" Hughes, Jay Hayden as openly gay firefighter Travis Montgomery, and Miguel Sandoval as Captain Pruitt Herrera, among other cast members.

If the wait between "Station 19" seasons is a bit too long and you're aching for some more firefighter drama, or even to branch out into the other worlds of emergency services, here are 12 other shows like "Station 19" that you can binge right now.

Before "Station 19" graced the network TV drama landscape with its presence, "Grey's Anatomy" had another spinoff — "Private Practice." At the end of Season 1 of "Grey's Anatomy," when Meredith and Derek are a season into their not-so-secret relationship, a surprise guest pops up at the season's end — Derek's wife, Addison Montgomery (Kate Walsh). A neonatal surgeon, OBGYN, and expert in fetal and maternal medicine, Addison's focus is all things babies and moms. Initially only meant to be a short guest appearance, Addison hangs around "Grey's Anatomy" for two seasons, departing at the end of Season 3 but not before the backdoor pilot for "Private Practice," her own show.

"Private Practice" is a calmer viewing experience than "Grey's" or "Station 19," if that's the kind of medical drama vibe you're going for. Addison, having ditched Derek for good, decides that she wants to have a baby, so she visits her friend Naomi Bennett at Oceanside Wellness Group in Los Angeles. Addison is asked to join the team, and that's where she eventually settles down to work along with her fertility specialist best friend Naomi (Merrin Dungey for the backdoor pilot, Audra McDonald in the series), Naomi's ex-husband Sam Bennett (Taye Diggs) who works in internal medicine, psychiatrist Violet Turner (Amy Brenneman), pediatrician Cooper Freedman (Paul Adelstein), alternative medicine specialist Pete Wilder (Tim Daly), and receptionist Dell Parker (Chris Lowell). "Private Practice" ran for six seasons from 2007 to 2013 on ABC.

If the firefighting is one of the things you love about "Station 19," definitely check out the dark comedy-drama "Rescue Me." The series was co-created by and stars Denis Leary as New York City firefighter Tommy Gavin. Suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) associated with the 9/11 attacks, Tommy sees the ghosts of firefighters lost when the Twin Towers fell, including his cousin Jimmy (James McCaffrey). But because "Rescue Me" aired on FX, it gets much darker than your average network drama. PTSD is already a heavy topic, but the series tackles suicide, addiction, domestic violence, and let's just say no character is safe. Not only is it darker than just about anything on ABC, "Rescue Me" also gets bawdier with its humor. Because it bloomed from the mind of Denis Leary, the show can be absolutely hilarious at times. 

The rest of the cast includes Andrea Roth as Tommy's ex-wife Janet and Callie Thorne as Jimmy's widow Sheila. At the firehouse there's Daniel Sunjata as beefcake firefighter Franco, Steven Pasquale as the sweet but dumb Sean, Michael Lombardi as probationary firefighter Mike, John Scurti as the Lieutenant, and Jack McGee as the chief. "Rescue Me" ran for seven seasons from 2001 to 2011.

It doesn't take a genius to understand that healthcare in the United State of America is somewhat of a mess. NBC's "New Amsterdam" understands that probably more than any other medical show on the air. Ryan Eggold leads the show as Dr. Max Goodwin, the new medical director at New Amsterdam Medical Center, the country's oldest public hospital which is loosely based on Bellevue Hospital in New York City. The new job offers him an opportunity — abandon the normal bureaucratic, financial, and business-oriented incentives that take up most of a hospital's recourses and just treat and care for patients instead. A novel idea, right? But Dr. Goodwin's intentions are also slightly selfish; he discovers in the pilot that he has cancer and will be a patient at the hospital himself. 

The series is based on the book "Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital" by Eric Manheimer. It has a little bit of a soapy, dramatic quality — essentially, it leans closer to "Grey's Anatomy" than to "ER" — but the cases featured on the show are also definitely tear-inducing. "New Amsterdam" has gotten mixed reviews over the years, but fans looking for a comparatively low-stakes hospital drama seem to find it entertaining. It's wrapping up its fifth and final season in the 2022-2023 television season.

If you're into investigative procedurals with a bit of a military kick, the "NCIS" franchise might be of interest. The show's title stands for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service of the U.S. Department of the Navy. Now you might be asking yourself, just how much crime is there to investigate in the Navy and Marines. In reality, the NCIS investigates crimes that involve members of the Navy and Marine Corps, as well as other national security, counterterrorism, and cyberwarfare cases. But on TV, the reach and rules of the NCIS naturally waver, and while the show is entertaining, it's not especially realistic.

The original "NCIS" began in 2003 and takes place in Washington, D.C. It stars Mark Harmon as NCIS Supervisory Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs. But like "Law & Order," "NCIS" has branched out all across the country. There's 2009's "NCIS: Los Angeles" with Chris O'Donnell in the lead. "NCIS: New Orleans" has Scott Bakula at its helm, but the series, which premiered in 2014, became the first "NCIS" series to end in 2021 after seven seasons. Out in the Pacific Ocean they've got "NCIS: Hawai'i" which features the franchise's first female lead with Vanessa Lachey as Jane Tennant, the special agent in charge. And if that's not enough for you, there's also an "NCIS: Sydney" on the way, following this American branch of the military investigative unit down under in Australia. The franchise has also had crossover episodes with "JAG," "Hawaii Five-0," and "Scorpion."

For yet another multi-show franchise, check out NBC's "One Chicago" cluster of series from Wolf Entertainment, the same company that brought us all of the "Law & Order" shows. The franchise began in 2012 with "Chicago Fire," which focuses on the team of firefighters at the fictional Firehouse 51 in Chicago, Illinois. "Chicago Fire" is probably the closest in tone, plot, and story to "Station 19" on this list if that's what you're going for. A few years later, the franchise branched out with "Chicago P.D." which follows characters from the Chicago Police Department.  A year after that, the third show, "Chicago Med," follows the doctors and nurses of the emergency room of the fictional Gaffney Chicago Medical Center.

These three shows make a nice bundle with many character and storyline crossovers, but even with the storylines bleeding into other series, you can watch any "One Chicago" series as a standalone if you want. There was also a fourth series at one point called "Chicago Justice," which focused on the prosecutors, much in the same spirit as the second half of a "Law & Order" episode, but that show was canceled after only one season. Speaking of "Law & Order," the "One Chicago" franchise also has crossovers with that franchise; some storylines merge with "Law & Order" and "Law & Order: SVU" as well as another Wolf production, "FBI."

If you want to go international with your binging, head over to Netflix to stream "Under Fire" from Belgium. This show follows firefighters of East Bank Station located in Ostend, Belgium. Featuring an ensemble cast, "Under Fire" follows the same episodic and dramatic formula that other firefighter shows tend to do, with interpersonal dramas combined with heart-pounding fires and rescues. But the real draw here is that "Under Fire" is gorgeous. The cinematography is much more cinematic, and the visuals are stunning. The action sequences and rescues feel like they belong on the big screen, making "Under Fire" a thoroughly artistic action show. 

If you're on the fence because you'll have to read subtitles, Decider says it's definitely worth a stream, writing that "Under Fire" "has the luxury of not being a network TV show, which means two things: swearing and rescue scenes that don't skimp on heart-pounding, dramatic visuals."
