Nashville will return to ABC on March 16 with the second half of season four, and it is likely fans will also see a fifth season and more of the drama.

Many fans wondered if season four would be the last season of the series. Nashville also faced a challenge this season with Hayden Panettiere leaving the production for a time to receive treatment for postpartum depression.

However, there is no end in sight for this series. According to Entertainment Weekly, Paul Lee spoke about the series at the Winter TCA’s on Saturday.

He said:

“We don’t have any plans to finish Nashville. We have an incredibly passionate audience. The Nashville audience grows by a large amount in our delay viewings. No, at this point, no plans for Nashville other than to keep it going.”

These comments do fall in line with an earlier Nashville report from TV Series Finale that said Nashville would return for a fifth season.
