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?
Nashville is the best show ever. I was so disappointed to hear it has been cancelled. It is a good wholesome enjoyable show. I guess there isn’t enough shooting, blood and guns to keep it televised.
Loved the show; why does good shows get cancelled?
I am so upset they are cancelling Nashville! Please don’t! I love it!
So ridiculous they are canceling this amazing show!!!! How can we get ABC to renew it???
I never saw that coming…………cancelled? It’s such a good show with such a great cast of actors/actresses! Why do they always cancel the good shows? I don’t understand. 🙁
I am shocked and really upset they are canceling this show! It is a phoenominal show, with great actors, great music and engaging stories. There’s so many special things about this show and I am sad they are canceling.
There are so many crappy shows on T.V. and this was has so much humanity in it and heart and soul!
Another aggravating call from idiots to cancel a good program… Disgusting that so many of these shows that have good storylines and many followers are canceled at someone’s whim.. Again abc is ridiculous.
Great show; should not have been cancelled….just left us up in the air along with Juliette!!! Need to wind it down, not just cut it off flat!!
I cannot believe you are cancelling Nashville. Finally, after Juilliet is becoming a real person and overcoming her horrible childhood and you let the show end with her dying? This is such a wonderful show, my husband and I watch it together, please please renew it for another season and please let Juliette live.
Love this show!! Should not have been cancelled!!
Worst decision ever. This show was great. Hopefully anothernetwork will be smarter and pick this show up!

Nashville is a great show and tribute to Country Music. Finally after 3 seasons Rayna and Deekan get together! Everyone loves Juillete and she wasn’t on that much and could have contributed to the ratings. I’mso upset to hear it is not coming back and I think ABC is making a mistake.
I started watching ABC because of Nashvill. The station has never really been any good. But now I won’t be watching any show on ABC after canceling Nashville. You’re all idiots.
This is one of the best family show. I’m so disappointed. The show deals with real problemms and issues. Pls bring it back
Nashville is my favorite show. I enjoyed and looked forward to the drama and music. It has a bit of everything love, fights and great conversation pieces. Please don’t cancel it.
