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. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

What do you think? Do you like the Nashville TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
It is the only tv series I have ever followed. I never miss it. I hope it will continue for a long timel.
The only tv series I have ever followed. I never miss it. Hope it will get season 5-6-7
This is the only show on Television that I look forward to watching! Everyone that I talk to, says the same thing!! Sure hope this will be renewed for next season.
Best show ever
This is a great show. I can’t believe more people don’t know about it.
Enjoy Nashville, and have yet to miss an episode. Like most of the music, and stream the music. Hope there will be season 5.
One of the best dramas on TV. Story, characters, music. I hoping that we get a season 5!!!!!
I watch the show but I have to say that it was more interesting with more music and less drama. I understand drama is life, but we have it in our own lives we don’t want to watch a whole show about it. Lighten up, please!
Like Deacon’s sister, the show is fading, on life support. Will it meet the same fate? Probably. But it’s been a pretty good run. They have forgotten the music, that was so much a part of the original season.
It is very rare for me to watch a show of this type, but the story lines keep me hooked. For that, they deserve a lot of credit. The talent is exceptional, but we could do without Rayna’s daughters singing. No story line there and they aren’t that good.
The Stella sisters are absolutely fantastic. I work on the show, and I gotta tell you, every respected musician in Nashville believes that they’re possibly the most talented on the show. You can’t buy sisterly harmonies like that. Your comment is ridiculously wrong. Wow
Love this show. Have not ever missed an episode. Please renew it again.
All the characters are great.
Enjoy the music.
Keep it!! This show is the best show ABC has in my opinion it would bream my heart if this show was ever canceled
Although it’s quite disturbing that more viewers don’t watch the show ABC is probably taking into account other factors besides total viewers. There’s a major tie-in to Opryland and the Grand Ole Opry. Steve Buchanan, president of Opry Group, is one of the executive producers (and has even appeared in some episodes of the show). In addition, the music can be purchased. There’s also a tie-in with Target because the CDs of recent seasons may not be generally available but can still be purchased at Target. And of course many members of the cast, with the exception of its two… Read more »
Please keep it on they took off Revenge and some other shows i watch, i love this show last night was the first night it came on so give it time and give it more episodes.
I don’t know a SOUL that watches this show. Why is it still on???
Since you aren’t the only person on earth, they don’t just cancel what you don’t watch. Other people do watch it, it has a huge DVR increase and all the soundtracks sell well. Plus it has been sold to syndication so ABC is making money off this show even if the numbers are spectacular.
