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 give us at least one more season (with fewer or shorter breaks)! The music is great and the characters are great! If you take away Nashville, I’ll have no reason to watch ABC.
Please don’t cancel Nashville! It’s one of the best shows on TV right now! How are you going to leave the show with so many cliffhangers???? Shame on you ABC!!!!!!
I’ll really miss Nashville and its talented cast and musicians. It really gives hope to many young and older songwriters like myself. I like to write songs that tell real life stories.
ABC….
You should consider getting rid of the new person in charge of programming rather than Nashville.
The show’starts potential has yet to be seen.With the new writing team and showrunners……it would have become…..quite possibly the biggest hit show you would have had.
I hope another more wise network picks it up and ABC….regrets it for years to come.
Kina of like when Warner Brothers dropped. “HOME ALONE” and FOX picked it up.
All I can say to ABC is , this is ridiculous. Nashville is a GREAT show! I can’t imagine why they would cancel Nashville and keep the crap shows on like Black-ish and four Bachelor shows. Really? Do we need four bachelor shows.
Finally a real show that shows the music industry as it really is. Really with all the crap that is on TV today you are cancelling a show with value. It’s fun to see how the music industry really works. I’m very disappointed in abc. Please reconsider!
NO! What are you thinking?? Your ratings must have been miscalculated. This is one of the best shows, the music, the cast, the guest stars etc… So Disappointed.
Of course they would cancel a good show. Seriously. I look forward to this show because of the characters and the music. Find a way to keep the show.
I love Nashville and can’t believe ABC would cancel such a good show!
NO, NO don’t cancel Nashville!!!!!!! It’s the one and only BEST show on TV!!! This just can’t happen☹️
Enjoyed it immensely including the music. Cannot believe they’ve cancelled this program
Nooooo. I love this show. I’m so sad!!!
No!!!! Please don’t cancel! This show is amazing. Please reconcider. We love the show and look forward to keeping up with these stars crazy lives!
Soooo disappointed!!! It’s my favorite show!
Please don’t cancel Nashville. I have watched every episode from the beginning and love it. With all the “garbage” on TV these days I was so happy to have a show like Nashville to watch. I love the characters and the music so much. I hope another network will pick it up.
