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 Nashville. Can’t understand why anyone would want to cancel it. Not only a good storyline but the music is awesom. Please find another station to broadcast
I want more . . . please
This can’t be the ending.
Yes, still continue the show. Have been a loyal fan since it began airing in the fall of 2012… Feel there’s more if a story to be told with Avery and Juliette.
I was so disappointed when I heard that one of the best shows on tv had been cancelled. I looked forward to watching Nashville every Wednesday night. Please bring this show back. I loved the music and the entertainment every week.
PLEASE . . . Bring Nashville back to us. Lifetime would be great, Directv would be great, how about RFDtv? Doesn’t matter as much where it when it comes back as long as it does.
My family all loves the series. I would truly hate to see it end here. Please keep Nashville alive.
Please find a new home for Nashville!! I have watched since the beginning. It’s sad that great television combined with great music Isn”t important. Loyal viewers will follow.
I love this show. Maddie’s character is completely annoying but the rest is great. I’ll continue to watch with or without Maddie but you can send her off to school or on vacation. Keep Daphne though.
Devoted fan since the beginning. Shocked and disappointed of the news it is being canceled. Please find a new for Nashville!
Love Nashville!! Do not cancel. Love the characters and theme . Story line is great.
I only watch 2 shows a week and this being one of them, please bring it back.
Nashville is my favorite show! I hate all of the reality tv shows! I love to see the so many talented artists on the show. I love that the story lines have been things that needed to be talked about & addressed. Some Country music fans are more traditionalists and seems to be more resistant to other lifestyles. I can’t wait to see how Season 5 starts off! I need to see what happens to Juliette. She can’t be in a plane crash like Patsy Cline just when Avery realizes Layla is a liar! What about Gunner & Scarlett?? Everyone… Read more »
