What’s next for Nashville? Recently, CMT chief Kevin Kay spoke with Deadline about the future of the series.
The country music drama is currently in its fifth season overall but its first on CMT. The show was cancelled by its original network, ABC, after season four last year. The cast includes Hayden Panettiere, Charles Esten, Clare Bowen, Sam Palladio, Chris Carmack, Jonathan Jackson, Lennon Stella, and Maisy Stella.
WARNING: NASHVILLE SPOILERS AHEAD!
In the interview, Kay says he thinks Nashville has “a lot of life in it” despite the recent death of Connie Britton’s lead character, Rayna James:
I believe Nashville has a lot of life in it. I know that Rayna has passed away in a highly rated episode, and then the funeral was even more highly rated. We will see how the audience reacts to Nashville and the next 11 episodes but I believe that there are great fans of the show and it’s got a good future ahead of it, we are encouraged that we can continue to do it. I honestly think it’s a great show, I’ve been a fan of it forever.”
What do you think? Do you watch Nashville? Will you still watch without Connie Britton?
yes I still want it. I thought there was a 6th season for sure. dont disappoint me
Actors and actresses come and go. Connie Britain can be replaced just like anyone else. I believe the show now has the potential to expand and grow. Why would I ever stop watching my favorite show? Keep it going!
My very favorite show now that Parenthood has been cut! I’m very sorry that Connie Britain is off the show now, but still like all the other characters and will continue to watch hopefully for many more seasons! I like this show so much that I put CMT into my cable package at an additional cost to be able to watch this Program!
Yes. I will still continue to watch Nashville, Connie was very well liked but there are other people that make the show still interesting.
We love Nashville. Yes we will continue to watch yr after yr. Hoping for a great future. It seems every time a really good show gets going, it’s cancelled. Hope this doesn’t happen to nashville.
Is Nashville still continuing now??? We in Canada were only given some 10 weeks (after the family and everyone put together Rayna’s memorial album). I’d hate to see that all of us here have been deprived like this… As for the question of Season 6? To be honest, I’d love seeing Nashville continue straight through to season 600 if possible! Keep up the good work CMT and to you good folks at W Network up here in Canada… please continue to present Nashville for all of us as well.
I hope there’s a season 6! 🙂
I meant season 7!
Of course I will still watch it
Of course!!!
YES I’M EXCITED TOO WATCH SEASON SIX! I’M A NASHIE ALL THE WAY! LOVE BLACK ROSES, LONGER, FADE INTO YOU!
I loved the show on ABC and watched every show. I was thrilled when CMT picked it up. I cannot wait for the rest of this season and Season six to come. DO NOT CANCELL.
Will continue to watch
I’ll keep watching it was hard seeing her die but I’m a true fan and changes happen in shows twist and turns .
I’ve loved Nashville since Episide 1, Please keep it going.; It would be a shame to bring it back just too cancel it again.
I love the show Nashville. I hope they don’t cancel it!
