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 look forward every week for the next episode of Nashville. I cannot believe you’re cancelling my absolute favorite show. VERY disappointed!!!! BooHiss!
This is such a fantastic show with so much talent in so many members if the cast. I am very disappointed! 🙁
Way to leave everything in an untidy mess for fans. No way to settle this.
Love Nashville. Very disappointed that the show is cancelled.
Please please please please DON’T CANCEL… This is the BEST show ever. Maybe fans and usual viewers didn’t realize that the show was back on. Maybe is all ABC’s fault for not advertising this season as much as they should have…
I enjoy this show and the talent on the show Cannot understand their reasoning for this. Please reconsider.
Unbelievable!! This is a wonderful show never miss it..I am soooo sad.
Every great show always goes and most night other than Sunday and Thursday nothing is great. Now we lose family and at Wednesday’s I could look forward to Nashville now nothing. Very disappointed,,,,…..
Sad, sad, sad…love the show… disgusted !!! Shame on you ABC! Hope someone picks thus show up…
Well this sucks! I’ve seen every episode since it began! Please don’t cancel!!!!
I stopped watching it a couple of weeks ago. Frankly I liked the music, but got tired of the negative storyline. The show always made me feel depressed, and everyone on the show is miserable almost all the time. I’m also tired of constantly having the “gay” issue pushed on and on. I’ll watch the ending, just out of curiosity.
Please renew Nashville. I think it is one of the best shows on TV. I am truly disappointed to hear of the cancellation. It’s a great show with excellent talent. Please do not cancel Nashville.
I am so disappointed…this is my very favorite show on tv……can’t believe they would cancel such a great show……disgusted with ABC
I am so tired of them getting rid of good shows. They leave us hanging and never finish the story lines. It’s always about the almighty dollar for these networks and not about what the viewers want.
Yes, Nashville should have had a Season 5. Really disappointed and disgusted with ABC.
Don’t cancel please. Or please have Netflix or USA take it. All my friends are crying over the cancellation
