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?
What is wrong with ABC. I love Nashvilje. They cancel good shows and keep garbage
Please don’t cancel Nashville! I Love this show! I have to see if their going to find Juliet’s plane! I think if the network would put it on at 9 instead of 10 there would be more viewers! So much is going on in this show please don’t cancel! would like to see Maddie singing as solo now that she is older. She have a beautiful voice so does her little sister. I never miss this show! Please than see if season 5 has many many viewers and the ratings go sky high. Thank You! God bless all!
Please don’t cancel Nashville.It is a very good show. I record it then watch it. Left us with a big cliff hanger would love to know what happen
Please don’t cancel Nashville!!! It is my favorite show on TV. I dvr the show. Maybe try it in a 9 pm time slot. Get it another chance.
Please don’t cancel this fantastic show. It’s one of the best shows on TV! You can’t leave us hanging.
I love that show…..Most of the shows I watch are on abc…..this saddens me
I’m so sad to see this series get cancelled. It is one of the few things worth watching out there. The music is fantastic every single episode! The show puts viewers in a good mood. I hope to see it back.
Noo!!! I love this show. The characters are awesome. The music is awesome. This show needs to keep going. I agree with others…less interesting shows have stayed on much longer. This breaks my heart.
Don’t put dirt on their grave just yet! I am hopeful that all of our voices will be heard and the show will stay on the air.
Show should have been renewed. Many other less entertaining shows were kept on. The music was so good. I think a better time slot would have drawn larger audience.
It really is sad that the only shows that seem to stay on TV are mostly the mindless comedies and now out of control reality TV. What kind of generation is this if all we want to do is watch crude, mindless comedies and other people’s lives being scripted so it’s not even reality. This is a great show and itell is sad that being one of the few left on tv. This is why I watch Netflix and movies all the time TV has just gotten rediculous.
Please bring back the show…I love Nashville. It’s the only drama I was on TV.
I absolutely love Nashville and looked forward to watching every Wednesday night – the turns and twists and the ya never knows.. Seemed like it was cut short and was over after just a few weeks. Such a shame on ABC to let it go. Yes, please bring it back and don’t kill off Juilette.
Nashville is the best show we have had on tv for a long time. Let me guess another reality show will take its place? I can’t begin to tell u how tired we are of those. Every time there is something good on they remove it. This is the only show on ABC I do watch due to the lack of good tv they do have. Good job ABC put on a reality show there is not enough of them.
I will never understand WHY, and I’m sure you hear this all the time, WHEN an exciting drama is aired, instead of a dumb comedy that isn’t even funny OR another reality show, (spare us) we really ‘get into it’ with the wonderful characters and THIS show a plus, with the great music…………..THAT IT IS TAKEN OFF……..would just like to see who these judges are………..this is a great show, NEVER have heard any negative feedback………shame on you ! Hopefully it will once again be considered….one of the best dramas on TV.
