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.
Do you want to see a fifth season of Nashville? Tell us what you think.
I had no idea the show had been canceled and was so disappointed to learn this. It is one of the very few quality dramas left on tv anymore. Please renew, as I still looked forward to it every week. I don’t even listen to country music, but have three Nadhville cd’s. Please revive.
Absolutely the best show !!! Love everything about it !! So good so good so good!!! Please bring back NASHVILLE!!!
I love this show!!! It’s please bring it back!! It was my Wednesday night I looked so forward to!!! Please please please bring Nashville back!!!!
Love the series!!! Would watch it anywhere it went!
Please please please keep Nashville going!!!
I would definitely like to see a season five to clear up and tie up all the loose ends that have been left hanging. We really enjoy the music and the talent we have been introduced to each week.
Please find Nashville a new home – I can’t be without this show – I am heartbroken that it was cancelled. So much talent – such great music. PLEASE keep it going!
Nashville is the best show ever and any network would be smart to pick it up!
I am so disappointed that Nashville was cancelled- a quality series with excellent music and acting. I hope to see the show picked up by another network – crummy ABC!
Great show. Should be renewed.
Love this show! We watch nashville faithfully each week with my mom. She absolutely adores the show too. I must admit some of the characters have become somewhat over dramatic over the years and can sometimes be a little annoying. But i still find it entertaining. I have become so attached to some of the characters. (Like scarlet, juliette and will.) We sure hope another network will pick up the show. Especially because of the way it ended. Fingers crossed!
We look forward to this show every week it’s on. It’s one of our favorites and I was shocked to see that it is/might be canceled. I’m about to give up TV. Can’t take one more (scripted) reality show!
Please find a way to bring Nashville back. I personally am tired most television the music was good the cast was good and if abc would have put it in a different place in the line up it would have had more viewers. There was nothing good before it so it lost viewers.
Nashville is awesome please don’t cancel this show …I couldn’t wait to see the next episode …this is my signature saying I want a fifth season and I’m a Nashville Fan….thanks i hope to see the show again….
What a huge mistake the writing, the music, the acting are touching, tear jerking, and gut wrenching. How can this series be ignored? Fight for this amazing series that tells stories true to life about serious life battling drama….like addiction, post-partum depression, homophobia, and a list that goes on. fight for this series! Fight to keep the stories continued!
