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?
Please don’t cancel Nashville!!! And if you do atleast add another episode to wrap up all the loose ends. Very sad end to a great show – this storyline with Maddie just ruined it. Would love to have another season to rectify the show and family.
Without having the character of Juliet around most of season 3 and 4, the show lost a bit. ABC should have given season 5 with Juliet (Hayden) one more year before making this decision.
This is my favorite show. I love Country music and I haven’t missed a show yet. Not fair they are getting rid of all the good shows l feel like canceling cable with the crap that will be left to watch if they cancel Nashville too. Please don’t. Save my show!
This show should not be cancelled it has such great actors and I look forward to hearing all the new music. Hopefully you will change your mind and give one more season to make a come back.
NOOOO!!! Dumb move ABC! Nashville has so much to still wrap up, and with the last 2 episodes already filmed, I’m sure we will all be left hanging on way too much of the story line! #BRINGBACKNASHVILLE
I am beyond devastated at the cancellation of Nashville… I’m so upset, I’m not going to start watching anything new ever again. Will stick with Lifetime & Hallmark movies. This is a terrible, terrible decision.
Love this show! Don’t watch much tv but watch this show. Please don’t cancel!!!!
NO ! Please don’t cancel, I look forward to watching it & seeing what is going to happen to the characters. I love the music. Please don’t cancel.
renew!!!! Just allow happiness for a couple of the players and people will watch it again. Make it more about the music again. Soap doesn’t have to mean dismal.
Please don’t cancel Nashville. This is the only show I watch religiously and have since the beginning. 🙁
Love the show, a total winner! No reason to cancel ,excellent cast and a high quality drama on important issues in today’s world. Show has all ages targeted and great music to top it all off. Country music is Huge right now! ABC is insane to lose another great show. People love the show and even by the season’s soundtracks. A great loss. They need to keep it.
I couldn’t agree more!! Country music is soooo big now!! And ABC!! Hello?! If it’s the viewers you think you’ve lost somewhere along the way, perhaps it’s the writers of the shows story lines that need to be cancelled! It’s the job of the writers to keep viewers interested and at the edge of our seats every week! So instead of cancelling a great drama series, hire or write some better story lines for this fabulous cast to perform for millions weekly!! But for the Love of GOD!! Please don’t cancel this fantastic SHOW!!!!
This show has a bright future! If ABC is unable to recognize this, then myself, and I’m sure millions of other viewers beg another network to PLEASE pick up this amazing drama series! Don’t let a great thing come to an end!!
Please do not cancel Nashville. Love the show
Nashville is a great show. Please do not leave us hanging like this. At least 1 more season to tie up loose ends
Please don’t cancel Nashville Omg best show on tv
Very disappointed by this news! Nashville is my favorite show on TV!!! Maybe you need to check demographics older than 49 since I am 52 & watch it religiously!!! Bad move ABC!!! Please renew Nashville!!!!
