The ratings for Nashville were down once again last season and they weren’t very good. With this season, ABC will have enough episodes for a good-sized syndication package. So, will this year be the end? Will this drama be cancelled or will it be renewed for a fifth season? Stay tuned.
The Nashville TV show continues to follow the lives and careers of country music superstars Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere) and Rayna Jaymes (Connie Britton). The rest of the cast includes Charles Esten, Clare Bowen, Eric Close, Jonathan Jackson, Chris Carmack, Lennon Stella, Sam Palladio, Maisy Stella, Will Chase, and Oliver Hudson.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival.

What do you think? Do you like the Nashville TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
Sorry to see that one of my fav. shows was cancelled. PLEASE bring it back!
I am so upset that Nashville has been cancelled. My husband and I both enjoyed the show and the amazing music (I own several of the CD’s). At a time when it is so hard to find something worth watching it is a disappoint to discovery that this one has also been cancelled. I would love it if the powers that be would change their minds and bring it back.
Please change your minds! This is my favorite show! My husband and I DVR it and watch it friday nights after the kids go to sleep; like the highlight of my week! He even took me to the Nashville Concert as a Valentines Day present.
Bring it back! I also have downloaded more than half the songs, they are so good!
It was very disappointing to see ABC cancel this very entertaining and quality show with wonderful actors and plots. So much crap on TV and now that’s all there is. Well, Netflix will be getting a real boost.
I watch every show. I love the people and the music. At latest it is not filled with murder and mayhem. Please do not cancel. Great night time soap opera.
Whoever made this decision is a moron. You blindsided the cast and fans so they couldn’t have a decent ending. I guess the opinion of 5 million viewers don’t matter. The show was different and awesome. You are complete idiots! No more Bachelor, no more “I married my mothet” – enough!
Very sad Nashville was cancelled. I’m very disappointed in this network. I would like Netflix to pick it up.
Nashville, the tv show, will be greatly missed! I would arrange my schedule so that I would never miss an episode. Would ABC exects. reconsider their decision?
I love this show I don’t know why you cancelled it because it was a wonderful program much better than all the police shows the current crime shows and all the other garbage that’s on TV today it was a wholesome good family show shame on you ABC for canceling it
Completely shocked that Nashville was cancelled!! Love this show!!! Watched every episode on DVR. Please bring this show back!!
