Nashville returned to ABC on Wednesday night with the biggest moment on the series since it began – the wedding of Rayna and Deacon. Does this pair tying the knot mean the series is coming to an end?
ABC did not include Nashville when it renewed a large batch of its series earlier this month, and one of the stars of the series is not even sure about the future of the series.
Connie Britton is the actress behind Rayna James on the country primetime soap, and she is also an executive producer on the series.
She spoke about the series in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, and she made it clear that she has no idea if the series would return for a fifth season. This is different than a report late last year that almost guaranteed a renewal for the series for next season.
Britton said the following about ABC’s renewing the series:
“I don’t know. It’s always so hard to know what’s going to be the future. Those things are so completely out of our hands, so I always just wait to hear.”
When answering another question, she stopped herself from saying that the series was nearing its end with the wedding of Rayna and Deacon. She actually vetoed the idea of the pair getting married at the end of last season. She did not want the hospital bedside wedding.
Are you a fan of Nashville? Do you want a fifth season? Tell us what you think.
Nashville the show is a brand… Not only for the network but as a whole. It has boosted tourist interest in the city. It has a amazing tour. The actors are so gracious to the fans. I personally have seen the tour and thanks to this show went to visit the beautiful city and am now actively search for a home there. I love this show. Plan my Wednesday nights around it. Please either ABC reconsider or another network give it a chance. Nashville has a bright future if given the chance.
“Nashville” will eventually be seen as one of the great dramas in TV history. It is absolutely mind boggling to me how they were able to find actors who not only act — but play instruments and sing beautifully as well! How did they find these people? It is a masterfully written, wonderfully performed piece of television brilliance. Hands down the absolute best that Network TV has to offer.
