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 have loved Nashville since it first aired. I do not want it canceled! This is a great show.
Nashville is my favorite show. I download tunes from it all the time. It’s so much better than so many of the shows that stay on forever. Please do not cancel !
i am heart broken I doubt they will have anything that good.
I’m so upset the desided to cancel Nashville , I loved that show and that is one show I will be sad to see go
How sad the show is coming an end. Great stories, good acting and wonderful music. Just because the show has no high speed car chases, no on getting shot or drug deals, or UFO’s or anyone with superhuman power they are getting rid of a great show. I start my Wednesday nights on ABC with “In The Middle” and end my night with “Nashville”. Hate that so many of the good, normal shows are not coming back. Will miss this show. 🙁
I think it’s BS! How do they actually know who watches? I’m pissed one of the only shows I watch.
we watch it religously and have enjoyed all 4 years. My Wife and I will miss it. Can’t believe that this has a bad rating, considering its a great country musical show. I don’t even like country music, but after watching this show, i have started to listen to it. I quess, we are a majority that do not enjoy cheap reality shows.
ABC how could you? what a great great show, one of the very few i chose to spend my valuable time watching, and one of the few that doesn’t fall under reality tv, crime tv or medical tv. if ratings dropped ABC is to blame because of all the excessive breaks between episodes you elected on this particular show, when all others came back you made us wait and wait and wait some more, which i think caused all but the most devoted fans to re tune in. if the public has a voice i hope you’ll reconsider and bring… Read more »
Will miss the show. Sadly, there were too many story lines going and I found
the show getting spread too thin. Will miss the music. They should have stayed with more music and less while trash drama.
im upset this is cancelled love this show why do all the good shows get cancelled and the bad ones stay around
Please reconsider the cancellation of Nashville!!!
It is such a refreshing show with depth, feeling and family values.
So much that is now missing in today’s TV inundated with “reality TV”
No curse words either. Like nowadays tv shoes can say the gd word but not–well. You know.
Pls some other network take it !!!!
Noooooooooo should keep going. Too much still to do on this show. Lots of loose ends don’t cancel !!!!
yes I love this show..it has a great story line and I absolutely love Deacon—all I want is them to tie up all loose ends and leave us with no question unanswered. I will sure miss this show as I love watching it 🙁
This news made me very sad last night. I look forward to Nashville every Wednesday Night. I love the show and enjoy all the new music and performances every week. I will miss this show greatly.
I’m definitely upset this show was canceled! The writing lately was getting shaky but the amazing music the show put out week after week was wonderful. A few writer changes were probably needed but the show was great over all.
