Happy trails. ABC has cancelled Nashville after four seasons, Deadline reports.
The country music drama, which stars Hayden Panettiere and Connie Britton, is currently nearing the end of its fourth season.
The cancellation comes as a bit of a surprise. Only a few weeks ago, we reported new showrunners Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz were getting the writer’s room ready for season five and hopeful ABC would renew the series.
However, ratings have dropped over the course of the show’s fourth season. So far, Nashville is earning an average rating of .98 in the 18-49 demo and 4.221 million viewers. Comparatively, the third season averaged a 1.34 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.16 million total viewers.
The season four, and now series, finale of Nashville airs on May 25th.
What do you think? Do you watch Nashville? Do you think the series should’ve been renewed?
I absolutely enjoyed Nashville. I enjoyed the music the plot & the actors. Very sad & upset series has been cancelled. Yur loss ABC.
I am so upset the show is cancelled! I hope another network picks it up. This is seriously the only show I watch every week. Please find a way to save it!
I think they should find some better writers such as Duck Wolf now that man knows how to produce and everything, all of his shows have lasted for years.
I am absolutely devistated to hear that Nashville is cancelled. I love Nashville and the amazing singers and the actors. I can’t imagine why they would take a show off that is so darn good!!!
If the show is definitely cancelled, please let them end it right and not end it as so many other shows have with cliffhangers! Wrap up the story lines for us please!!
absolutely should have been renewed. So disappointed. Move to Netflix
I think they should just go to another channel. ABC Always cancels the very best shows as they did with all of the daytime soap just like CBS did. Go to NBC they have Days of our Lives for 50 years.
Please renew this show or move it to Netflix
About time!
When the show stopped spot lightning the music and focused on the whining characters like Deacon, Juliette and Scarlett it wasbjustba matter of time. The numbers don’t lie.
I can’t believe they cancelled Nashville! This show exhibited so much talent. The acting, the singing & songwriting. If I missed the show, I always watched it on demand. And I have purchased songs on itunes. It is a shame abc couldn’t at least give the viewers a few more episodes to at least wrap up the story lines.
ABC should consider keeping Nashville on the air for the music alone. I enjoy the music as much as the story line and truth be told ABC doesn’t have enough really good shows to compete with CBS so, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???
I agree with you 100% they take all the great shows off and ok UT stupid cooking shows on I mean they have cooking channels for that they need to leave the good shows. I think if we all got together and boycott ABC they might just reconsider it. I am in who else is willing to do it with me.?
I am totally willing !!!!!
Very sad to see it go. Old school fun night-time soap opera. I will miss it.
Sad to see this news!! Move Nashville to Hulu or Netflix!!!
Nashville is my favorite program! Please renew!
I really enjoyed watching Nashville, I looked forward to Wednesday’s. I watched every episode. Don’t understand why abc has to cancel it. Please reconsider.
I feel more and more families are either working or in bed due to the increase of single or two parent working families like myself I often record or go on demand I feel many people do this which understandable don’t help the rating but I would not like to see the show taken off the air
