Nashville wrapped its run with its series finale on ABC this week, but Lionsgate TV has not given up on the cancelled drama. In fact, Lionsgate is promising loyal fans of the series that they will see a fifth season – even if it isn’t on ABC.
Deadline reported that the Lionsgate is still fighting to find a new home for the series, and that was made clear with a tweet sent out last night.
#Nashies What a cliffhanger! But we won’t leave you hanging. There’s more story to be told. #BringBackNashville

In addition to the tweet sent out by Lionsgate TV, the studio spoke about the Nashville situation in a call with the press on Thursday morning. Variety reported that four or five outlets have expressed interest in picking up Nashville for season five.
The creator behind the series, Callie Khouri, still wants more time too. She said the following, according to Deadline:
“Nashville fans are the absolute best, and support for the #BringBackNashville campaign has been amazing. We are so grateful for our extremely loyal following. We have stories left to tell and songs left to sing.”
Fans have been fighting to have the series saved on social media. A petition has also seen over 100,000 signatures.
Last night’s finale did leave the door open with a cliffhanger while wrapping up some of the other stories on the series. Fans will have to wait and see if another network or service decides to pick up Nashville.

I Absolutely Love to see a Nashville Series Five. Love all the characters and story line. Very addicting show 🙂
Bring back Nashville ASAP, what are they thinking, best show on tv
Absolutely. I don’t understand ABC, they finally had a show about the country genre, with no other show like it on TV and they cancel it. What’s wrong with the executors ????
Please don’t let Nashville end, it is absolutely one of the best shows on network tv and ABC is crazy to let it go.
Absolutely. What is ABC thinking
Nashville has a quality cast who deliver solid performances and the music is great. It would be sad to see a show this good go by the wayside considering there is a plethora of TV programing on the networks that doesn’t even come close the caliber of Nashville.
Please find a home! I love the show, the music, everything about it!!!
Please no. Don’t cancel. My husband and I wTch religiously. He’s not a country fan but this show has changed him
Why on earth would you cancel Nashville? Once I finally get to watching a show and getting into the show “BANG” its gone. Please bring the show back, it was a very good show, one of my favorite
I am absolutely dumbfounded at the cancellation of Nashville! The show is unique, unlike so many brainless crime shows on TV that are all the same! Please , please, somebody, pick up this show so we can have something good to watch again!!!
Yes yes yes! Please don’t end Nashville, especially on such a horrible cliff hanger. We love the new and up coming artists that play Maddie and Daphne, and love the story lines. There is so much more to be told! Hulu or Netflix should hurry and invest in this.
I really love the show and would appreciate it if the writers could have another season to tie up loose end if it must be cancelled. I could at least have the whole story on dvd to watch over and over again.
I love this show. I hope another network will pick it up! PLEASE,
The cast and crew are the most talented and caring I have ever seen. They deserve to continue and we NEED them to continue. I love them so much I’m greedy. I not only want Season5 I want Seasons 6 – 10! Please bring them back.
I love this show. ABC is ABC is notorious for canceling series three and four years out I barely watch ABC anymore so if another station picked it up I would be a static
don’t you mean ecstatic
