TV show description:
Music legend Rayna Jaymes (Connie Britton) reigned as the Queen of Country for two decades and topped the charts. Now, her grip on the throne is slipping. Her last album tanked and ticket sales are soft. Rayna refuses to be steamrolled by her record label as they present a new arrangement. In the face of an evolving industry, Rayna is struggling to adapt, reinvent herself, and try to stay relevant.
Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere) is sexy, sassy, and there’s trouble in her wake. She’s also the country’s #1 crossover artist. In her climb to the top, Juliette’s public image is threatened by circumstances she struggles to control. And while she is determined to sit on Rayna’s throne, Juliette refuses to deal with her difficult past.
Offstage, things aren’t much smoother for Rayna. Her father is Lamar Wyatt (Powers Boothe), Nashville’s most influential businessman who continues to complicate her life. Their strained relationship is defined by years of resentment and secrets that come to a head when Lamar and Rayna’s sister, Tandy (Judith Hoag), push Rayna’s husband Teddy Conrad (Eric Close) to run for mayor. For Teddy, this marks an opportunity to share the spotlight with his wife instead of continuing to stand in her shadow.
Coleman Carlisle (Robert Wisdom) has served on Nashville’s Metro Council for 11 years. He’s always been backed by Lamar until a disagreement causes a big rift between the two.
The city of Nashville is the stage for many hopefuls. Deacon Claybourne (Charles Esten) is Rayna’s longtime bandleader whose unrequited love for her prevents him from claiming success if he went on his own.
Scarlett O’Connor (Clare Bowen) is a beautiful and gifted songwriter who supports her boyfriend Avery’s talent while still being unsure of her own gifts. Avery Barkley (Jonathan Jackson) is a struggling alt-country musician who can’t help but feel left behind when his girlfriend Scarlett’s songs have a chance to find an audience before his own.
Gunnar Scott (Sam Palladio) is a wholesome up-and-coming crooner who finds a musical soulmate in Scarlett and comes between her relationship with Avery.

this show is amazing! Please do not cancell!
Love, love, love this show!
I love Nashville, the talent on that show is amazing.
I absolutely love this show and am really hoping that there is a Season 4! I just watched the On The Record show and it was so fantastic. I’m obsessed with this show. I’ve never been much of a “country” music fan but this show has made me appreciate the “new” country music…which has a lot of soul. The songs match up with the story lines. I watch each show at least twice per week so that I don’t miss anything! The story lines are good too. They always keep me guessing!
Please come back for Season 4!!
I love Chicago F ire. If I cannot watch it I record the episode so I don’t miss any of the series
I’m hearing scuttlebutt that Nashville may not renew. Are you kidding? This is an awesome show! Please keep it on the air. I love this show. Great story lines, great music, edge of your seat entertainment. Great show!
I was never one to sit down and watch TV. However, when ‘Nashville’ aired its first episode I have been glued to the TV every Wednesday night. I can’t get enough of the show. The writers are doing a great job and I love the cast, especially Lennon and Maisy. They are awesome! Please continue to run the Nashville TV show with many seasons to follow. I Absolutely love it.
The story & the music is great. It’s a good deviation from all the crime shows & 100 times better than 99.9% of the mindless reality shows on tv. Please keep it.
Nashville should be renewed for a fourth season it is a fantastic show with great music compelling stories and terrific actors and actresses. ABC cant sell it into syndication without a fourth season. Please Please renew Nashville.
Absolutely LOVE this series and the music is awesome…one of the best series on television if not THE best! Was never a country music fan until “Nashville”…love the characters and the storylines…other than the Voice, Grey’s and the Good Wife, it’s the only television we watch or that we deem worthy of watching. Way to go, ABC!
I think the writers should be fired on the spot! The show is like a bad soap opera. Give the actors a chance to shine and show their talents with a lot more music, and a lot less drama!
