Nashville will air an all-new episode on ABC later tonight, but fans know the end is near. The network cancelled the series last week, but there is still hope. With the people behind the series actively looking for a new home, it is possible that the series could return for a fifth season.
However, Connie Britton has already shared a message with her fans about the cancellation of the series on social media. She shared the following message after the news broke, according to TV Line:
“To the amazing friends and family who are Nashville, to the cast and crew, and most of all to the fans…I’d just like to say it’s been my honor to be a part of this world, to live in it and breathe it in and try to replicate it. Sometimes we were more successful than others. But the place of Nashville in my heart is deep and permanent. I am grateful for the hard work and faith of so many who dedicated themselves to creating and supporting this show. And I am forever changed for the better. Thanks for the music.”
According to TV Guide, the actress also spoke about the cancellation of the series on a talk show appearance earlier this week. Nashville has been a big part of her life. She has raised her adopted son there since 2011. She said the following:
“I’ll talk to my Nashville friends, and they’re all devastated. It’s a real bummer also for the town too. I’m going to miss those people so much. I’m so upset, then I talk to my friends in L.A., and they’re like, ‘We’re so happy you’re coming home.’ So I’m just like, I don’t know what I feel! [My son is] 5, and we’ve been doing the show there for four years, so it’s a big deal. It’s over. The end of an era. I think he’s going to just ditch me now because he’s like, ‘I’m staying in Nashville now. These people are cool. I’m learning how to play the drums. See you later.'”
The finale for the series will air next Wednesday night. Do you want another network to come in and save Nashville from the grim reaper? Tell us what you think.
I have watched this show from the beginning. ABC is a bunch of corporate bullies, canceling not only Nashville but also Galavant and The Muppets! We at least saw some resolution with Luke and Colt, but I will be very surprised if all of the open storylines can be wrapped up in the next episode:
-Will Rayna, Deacon, and Maddie reconcile with each other?
-Will Scarlett and Gunnar get back together?
-Is there going to be a resolution to the Will Lexington storyline?
I can ‘t believe your cancelling this great show. I look forward to it every week. I love the characters and the music. It’s fantastic. I am so depressed.
Nashville is a very unique series. Love the characters and the constantly changing personal interaction between them all! I will miss this program. Please give all the characters a ‘happily ever after’ send off!
I’m very disappointed. I loved the show & the music. It was unique. They needed some new storylines, however. Loved the evolution of Luke & Will. The story’s not finished! Hope another station picks up the show. G
Please bring Nashville back!!! This is a fantastic show and the actors are wonderful. I work so hard and always look forward to watching Nashville at the end of a busy day!!! Bring it Back!!!
Nashville is one of my husband’s and my favorite shows!! There is so much talent and the story lines so well done, I can’t believe of all the shows on they would cancel one of the best!! So sad!! Plus it made us put Nashville on our list of places we want to visit!!
Really devastated about the cancellation of this show!!!! I’m so tired of canceling great shows ! I can’t handle this one! I love Nashville!!! And dos do many other people…. I truly hope they get picked up by another smarter network!
Why do they cancel a good show like Nashville and keep those stupid talk shows on .This show has great story lines and the actors are so awesome and you keep putting stupid **** like the Bachelor and Bachelorette
This is insanity! One of the best shows we have ever watched. Good acting. Great music. You are nuts! What’ a shame
I love Nashville and I am crushed! Nashville is relevant – great scripts, great acting AND music. The character of Rayna is strong and honest – she always takes the high road and is a great role model. I used to think “Luke” was an unattractive jerk, and then his better self self surfaced and he became incredibly sexy and attractive. I cannot say enough good things about Nashville and the cast and writers. Mahalo.
Dont cancel Nashville its a great show ABCs lost so please come on Networks somebody pick up this show. I will watch where ever it goes. Dedicated fan .
As a college student i hardly watch tv but i always make sure to watch nashville every week! ABC is cancelling all the good shows and getting rid of Nashville is one of the worst decisions they have made! Definitely hope Nashville finds a new network because obviously ABC isn’t worth it!
I love Nashville don’t cancel!!!!
I love Nashville! This breaks my heart! I think any network or Netflix should continue the show! It’s such a great show!!
What a sad day. Couldn’t wait all week for the show to come on. Find another network. It will bring them a lot of fans.
