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?
It’ s is sad to see Nashville being canceled. ABC always canceled all of the good show,even when they were making extra money from the songs being downloaded from iTunes and concerts..
No zombies, no vampires, no aliens, no detectives, and you cancelled it????? Really ABC! Think twice.
PLEASE bring Nashville back, it’s such a great show! God Bless all of the Nashville team. Such outstanding work.!
As soon as they get a good decent show ABC cancels it!!!!! Loved that show!
Bring it back!!!!!
I agree with Yolanda.
Please dont cancel Nashville it is a great show. Ratings went down when Connie brytton signed a pledge against Trump. My husband stopped watching the show because of that and many people i know but the show is a nice story and i still watch it. Just artists need to refrain from making pitical remarks.
I really enjoyed this show and wish ABC would give it another chance.
I think it stinks!! I loved Nashville, how could you cancel it? What an ending. Bring it back.
No they can’t cancel! It’s my absolute favorite show with great music and story. At least give us a last season with an end to round it! Not with a cliff-hanger!! PLEASE!!!
What a ending…. but still left us hanging.
This is such a down to earth great show… one of my faves. I wish it wasn’t ending. I’m so disappointed. Common ABC. Keep it going!
Please do not cancel this show. Please
Nashville is an incredible show – the characters are special and almost seem like family after 4 seasons. I truly want to continue to see them develop and grow, succeed and fail. Don’t stop sharing these stories, so many important topics were covered, from homophobia to mental health, addiction to sexual harassment… this show is enjoyed by seniors and young adults and all in between. Men, women and couples could share and enjoy the Nashville story and music… please keep it going!!
Nashville is a great show – so sad to hear of its cancellation 🙁 Some one needs to pick it up and keep it going…
I love this series. Nashville really gets the country scene and the music is over the top. We want to follow Will Lexington’s career. Please bring it back.
I love Nashville and if you intended to cancel it why did leave a cliff hanger? Why not let people know if Juliet Barnes lives, dies or reunites with Avery? They were the only cast members that had no ending.
Nashville was and is my favorite show I am so disappointed. This has the best acting, cleanest as far as sex scenes go. The music is awesome! I am hoping ABC will change their mind and pick up season5 and if not that one of the off channels will pick it up. The off channels are becoming the BEST!
