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?
I too am not in your demographic age group (age 66), but like L Mueller I very much look forward to watching this show faithfully ever since it first appeared on ABC. I will miss it, and I too hope that a sister network or alternative network arrangement can be found. It is simply too good and entertaining to let go altogether.
I too DVR it and am inthis same age range .I watch it then rewatch it in case I miss something.
I am so disappointed to know Nashville is cancelled! I finally found a show that was worth watching plus the music was worth listening to! I’m so tired of the reality shows and this show made TV watching enjoyable again! Please put it on a sister network or Netflix !! It’s too good of a show to be tossed aside. I’m not in your demographic age range but my age group should count for something (68). We enjoy the music and buy the advertisers products.
You cannot go by viewing alone, like one of the other comments tv shows are being DVRed! Please keep Nashville! Contact the cable companies found out how many programs are actually DVRed by customers and use those ratings. The busy world we live in today, who has time to to sit and watch a program on a night they actually air.
Love, love, love NASHVILLE! I fall in the age range of 18-49 that is measured to track the ratings… I have never missed a show but that’s only because of DVR! I would venture to say a big portion of this age range has to DVR their favorite shows! We are raising children, running from one activity to another and although kiddos might be in bed by the 10:00 est time slot.. So are we!!! Such a great show… Sure hope somebody picks it up!!!
Please bring Nashville back! We love it; it’s one of our favorite shows. We don’t care which network it’s on; just let us continue to hear the wonderful music.
Love this show. Wish someone would pick it up

I was so sad to see Nashville being cancelled. I would love it if ABC would reconsider, or someone else would pick the show up.
I love this show. I’m shocked they are cancelling. This is the best drama on tv.
I am so sad to hear nashville has been cancelled! Abc sucks!!!!!
Nashville is excellent! You are crazy to cancel it!
I am extremely disappointed that Nashville has been cancelled. Been an ardent fan since the beginning. Please don’t cancel the best show on TV.
This show is important! We look forward to the story & characters! If ABC brought country legends on may help! The show is well done “HOPE” ABC will reconsider! Put on TGIT! You will get ratings
Please don’t cancel this show, I live for it and the characters :/
Booooo!!!! I personally am not a big tv person, but I love Nashville. I have to get in bed early on Wednesday nights for work so I pay for Hulu just so my husband and I can cuddle up and watch it on Thursday nights after the kids go to bed. It’s the only show I watch on the regular. Please, please don’t take it off the air. Seriously hoping another network picks it up.
This is such a good show I can’t even imagine them taking it off the air, it has everything in it good music good actors and the very thought of this makes me sick
