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?
Can’t believe tha dhow has been cancelled. What a shame It was my favorite show on tv. Enjoyed the characters, and loved the actors and the songs. Hope tha network will bring the show back or cable will pick it up.
PLEASE keep Nashville
I have never, in my lifetime, ever written to express my disappointment on the cancellation of a TV show. I was hooked on Nashville from the first episode. Never was there a show that incorporate musical and acting talents together. I purchased CDs from Nashville, which I have never done before. Watching and getting invested into the characters, music, and storylines, took me away from my everyday stresses and worries for even just one hour a week!!! With today’s lineup of reality shows, dance and singing competitions, etc. Nashville was a special change!!! I really don’t care if Kendra forgives… Read more »
Bring back Nashville
This show is one of a kind. Most TV shows today are sitcoms that are not funny, police shows filled with violence, or medical shows pounding into your head that surgeons often make mistakes and kill people, What about the rest of us who like to listen to and watch music related TV? Nashville fits the part. It’s too bad ABC is now governed by a president who would rather fill the network with sitcoms.
Please DO NOT cancel Nashville. Best show on TV. All of my friends also love Nashville.
Please don’t cancel Nashville
Nashville is too good of a show to cancel you are idiots
Please don’t cancel Nashville
Please do not cancel Nashville, we look forward to watching this Great show every week!!
ABC will be the losers in this case. The viewers are there and when Nashville finds its new home and starts airing a fifth season that new network will be the winners along with all the loyal viewers who know a quality show when they see one.
Bring back Nashville! I am so disappointed with the network for cancelling the show.
Please bring back Nashville, it is such great show. We need more shows like it as there are way to many reality shows.
Come on ABC fans have spoken we want Nashville back!
Please, please don’t cancel one of the best shows on television. Love the talent and storylines on Nashville.
I love this show, even have a bluebird cafe tee shirt from Nashville, please don’t cancel!
