Is Connie Britton leaving Nashville? According to Deadline, the lead actress could be exiting the CMT TV series after season five.
Britton plays Rayna James on the country music drama, which moved to CMT this season after ABC cancelled the show last spring. The cast also includes Hayden Panettiere, Charles Esten, Clare Bowen, Sam Palladio, Chris Carmack, Jonathan Jackson, Lennon Stella, and Maisy Stella.
Rumors that Britton is leaving the show have circulated since before season five began last December. Now, Deadline says the actress is being sought out by networks for pilot season, meaning she could very well be moving on from Nashville. Neither CMT nor Britton have confirmed the rumors.
The midseason finale of Nashville airs on March 9th.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Nashville? Do you think Britton will leave? Will you still watch if she does?
I have watched the season finale of Nashville. I loved Connie Britton and I cried through the last two shows! I’m 76 and nobody makes me cry anymore. The cast played this difficult goodbye well and the writer’s did a phenomenal job. I’ll continue watching Nashville, Season 6, (if it is continues) because of the strong characters and story line. I can’t wait to see what Connie Britton will be doing next. She’s a very talented actress and needs to be showcased!
I will miss Ryna alot. But I love the show. Please renew for Season 6. I look forward to the Nashville all week. I’m not a fan of survivor, sitcom, sports or game type shows. I love Nashville.
Please renew Season 6
AMEN!
Please renew for Season 6!
