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.

What do you think? Do you like the Nashville TV series on ABC? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for another season?
Say it isn’t so. Love this show and the wonderful music.
NO NO NO DO NOT CANCEL NASHVILLE PLEASE! It’s my very favorite tv show, it’ll leave a huge hole in my week!
There are no other shows in my house that ate recorded just for me. I am really sad, as well as disappointed that Nashville has come to an end. I think it should have one more intentional year, so fans can have closure. What happened to Juliette? There was a lot of movement this season, I know there is one more in there. Promote it. How many viewers does one have to have? Come on.
We were left with a “cliffhanger??” That is just not right! Oh dear, what conversations this will start about Juliette living or dying on a plane crash!!
I am completely bothered by the fact that you cancelled a well written show with a cast of incredible actors and actresses. The worst part was the ending.
I was shocked to hear this. Past seasons were great and just as things get going you decide to cancel it. I don’t own the station but you’ve disappointed a lot of people I know. Can’t wait to see what stellar program you replace it with. I’m sure it will be obvious once I see it. (Said with sarcasm) we lost a good one here!
I am so upset I love this show
Nooooo to the cancelation of Nashville. I love this series. Please bring it back.
I love this show . Please renew Nashville.
Please bring back Nashville!! I love the series, all the characters, the story line, the music & talent is AMAZING!! LOVED the celebrities hilighted when you least expect it!! Please bring it back!!
Please renew another season of Nashville. It’s a great show and should be picked up by another station.
I love this show!!! The amazing music combined with the romantic storyline make this a winner. We wait all week to see this.
I’m very upset that Nashville has been cancelled! I never expected to be a fan since I’ve never been a fan of country music, but I was taken in by the excellent cast and great story lines. This show should be picked up by another network!
I can’t be the only fan who isn’t a big fan of country music, right? Come on and give this show a second chance!!
I love this show so please continue it with season five so I can find out what happens to Juliet
everyone I know watches this show,even people that aren’t country music fans!!! so disappointed this is the only show on abc I watch,good job abc I cant see you getting another show that will even compare tp this show
