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?
So sad they have cancelled yet another wonderful show. Nashville was filled with incredible talent. It made country music mainstream and gave us characters wr rooted for and fell in love with. I shared the experience of this show with many of my friends. We even attended one of their concerts. Bring the show back somewhere please!!!
This is so sad, Nashville is my favorite show you have to bring it back! Such a bad decision ABC what were you thinking? The cast and the storyline is phenomenal.
Please don’t cancel nashville. I wait all week for it to come on. This is one of the few shows worth watching. Please consider moving it to a different slot. Great acting, great writting.
Nashville is one of the best shows out there. I have not missed one episode. Please keep it on I will never watch abc again
This is beyond sad!! This was the only show that didn’t rely on sex,violance,religion or race to keep its dedicated veiwers. It is even sadder that more people would rather watch smut and garbage.what does that say about you. So congratulations to another station that falls victim to crap rather than stand up for a show of value to clean minded good hearted people like the people who watched this show and many others like it.
We love Nashville and the music! Please don’t cancel this show!!!!
I’m so upset with the cancellation of Nashville it was such awesome show something that I was not ashamed to have my whole family watch.
Pleas don’t cancel Nashville !!! We LOVE LOVE the show!!!!!
Please don’t cancel Nashville – love all the characters and especially the music. And it was getting really juicy this season… Do not let us down!
Why are you leaving us with such a finale!
I love this show. I can’t believe it has been cancelled. I am a professional
and travel but never miss this show. Please rethink this decision!!!
I think the reason rating were lower is because it was consistenly on it seemed like something else was on instead. I just waited and watched on Hulu but i never missed the show and hate to see the series end it should have been on a few more years. Maybe Netflix or another streaming channel can pick it up
Why do some shows just get moved to a different time slot to keep it going, and others are just tossed? Nashville has too much talent to axe. Put it on on a Saturday night or Sunday. Just don’t cancel!!!
Please do not cancel Nashville. I love the show and look forward to watching it every week. I love the cast and all the music.if you go to another network, I will certainly follow! They have talented cast and I love their music. Please reconsider canceling Nashville!!!
I love Nashville. Only show I make sure to see or record. Please dont cancel it.
I love this show! I’m not even a huge country music fan but I do enjoy the music and love the characters. This story needs to continue. Don’t cancel Nashville!
