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?
I really enjoy Nashville. It’s watched by my whole family. There aren’t many quality shows that you can enjoy watching with your children. I love the music, and the variety of talented performers in the cast. Please don’t cancel this show. Tell me what I need to do to keep it on the air.
Please don’t cancel Nashville! Its my fav show! Best on TV! Better than Empire but I do like Empire but Nashville SO MUCH BETTER!
Cannot believe you would cancel a really good show and keep some of the garbage that is still on the air !!!! I hope it gets picked up by another network !
Please dont cancel! I love that show – it has actually turned me on to country music!
ABC what in the world are you thinking? Nashville is the best thing that’s come along since Dallas … I never miss it and can hardly wait until the next week for another episode.l
Totally in agreement with Christy…cancel a reality show‼️
Nashville was a great show .. If the writers had involved the city more would have helped the ratings.. I think it should at least be renewed for another season
Keep the show!! It’s getting so good. It’s the only reason, I watch TV anymore.
Love this show!!!!!
Why oh why? I really like this show and haven’t missed an episode. I can tell you all the stuff with Maddie doesn’t add anything to the show, honestly never liked her character, but all the other characters are great!
I like Maddie but its kinda depressing but I’m sure it happens to young performers!
Please keep the show on we love it
Please dont cancel Nashville. One of the best dramas on tv. We love it. Please.
Nashville is my all time favorite show. I even went to th Blue Bird Just to say I did. Please don’t cancel this awesome show.
Please don’t cancel Nashville. Can’t wait to watch it every week.
Me and wife look forward to Nashville ever week we are 55 and 56 why don’t we count in your ratings.
