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 love this show and would hate to see it go. The music is so amazing! Please save this show.
Season five must go one… This is the best series out there and should run for many seasons to come! It’s one that I hold as GREAT as M*A*S*H*… Hands down!
I’m not a country fan, I love Nashville. Incredible actors and singing. Great story lines,especially Rayna’s reaching out to Maddie about her own experiences . Please don’t leave us wondering about Juliette.

Please find a way to save this incredible show! Main characters are still developing and there is so much of their stories left to be told!
The bravery shown by Nashville’s writers to deal with relevant issues is to be applauded….not shut down!
If ABC wants to keep people in the closet then please, please find a station that is brave enough to let us continue to be part of the Nashville journey!
I love Nashville and definitely want to see series 5. Please find a home for Nashville.
