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?
Can not believe this, of all the crazy and stupid things to do. Everyone I know watches this series. Beautiful character who are really great musicians. My wife and myself really LOVE this program. I HOPE SOMEONE FROM ABC IS READING THESE COMMENTS AND SEE JUST HOW MUCH PEOPLE LOVE IT, PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL IT!!!!!!!
I loved Nashville, the music and the show was very entertaining. I am very disappointed it has been canceled!
We love Nashville and have watched from beginning. We are indeed very disappointed it is ending . That being said this seasons writing was not great and there was hardly any singing! We missed it. Some of the stories were just silly too. We hope the writing will improve and another network will pick up!
I love Nashville, I’ve been involved with this show since the beginning and I am devistated that it’s ending, there is too much left to figure out and not enough episodes left to get all the answers.
I look forward to each new episode; I’m extremely disappointed that Nashville is being cancelled. There’s something wrong with the ratings!!! Everyone I know loves this show and your demographic is much too narrow. Baby Boomers buy your sponsors. products too and we can’t stand your mind numbing reality shows. ABC is making a huge mistake cancelling this program. I hope another network picks it up!
I am so upset that Nashville has been canceled. I really enjoyed watching it every Wednesday night. A lot of my friends and family are upset about this as well. I hope that ABC will replace the show with something worth watching. Very disappointed over the cancelation of NASHVILLE. ..
I am so upset! This was one of my favorite shows. I’m so over ABC canceling good shows and replacing them with flops. I guess I’m not going to watch that much of ABC now. Really disappointing!!!
OMG Nashville is part of a great Wednesday night lineup. What can be done to keep this show on….
This has been a great series, I’ve enjoyed every weeks show with anticipation for the next episode . Please come back, there is more for Rayna and Deacon , Scarlett and Gunner and Juliet . Where will this leave them all????
Geez, every good show gets cancelled. I LOVE Nashville and watch it every week. But I’m over 49 so I guess ABC doesn’t care about my opinion. Maybe they need to hire some over 49 people to understand who watches their shows. Very disappointed. Guess I’ll have to rely on the cable channels for good shows. Too bad for you, major network.
Too soon to cancel one of the better unique series on Tv
I can’t believe this! Maybe it’s because the network leaves the show off the air between holidays and viewers find something else to watch in the interim. It’s really getting spicy again and this is a bad time to cancel the series! I love this show! I just went to see the concert recently which was very good. Too bad about this.
My husband and I have been watching Nashville from the beginning and it has become our favorite show. We’ve fallen in love with the characters and are extremely disappointed that It is abruptly being cancelled. The show has so much to offer, wonderful music, real life situations and problems and great actors. I’ve never expressed my disappointment regarding any other canceled serious but this is one show we are truly going to miss. I’m sorry that this show has to leave when there are so many other undeserving shows are being renewed.
I am in the 18-49 group and I am pissed that they cancelled it. You can not get an accurate rating today because of the dvr option. I have dish and it records all prime time shows which doesn’t reflect back to the network that the show had been watched in this home so how many others are not being reported?? I love Nashville and it would be great if another network would pick it up. Very disappointed with ABC. Since hearing the news I have not turned my tv to that channel and it may stay that way for… Read more »
