Though it hasn’t been a ratings success, ABC has kept Nashville on the air. Will the numbers continue to fall this season? Is there a chance that it could be cancelled or is it essentially guaranteed to be renewed for a fourth season (because of potential syndication profits)? We’ll have to wait and see.
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 Clare Bowen, Eric Close, Charles Esten, Sam Palladio, Jonathan Jackson, Chris Carmack, Lennon Stella, 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 the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
5/8 update: ABC has renewed Nashville for a fourth season.
Final season averages: 1.34 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.16 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
For comparisons: The second season of Nashville averaged a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.34 million total viewers.
Note: Note: These are the Live + Same Day Ratings which include “live” viewing plus delayed DVR viewing, up until 3am local time that same night. Ratings marked with an “*” are the fast affiliate ratings and will be updated with the Live+SD numbers when they are made available. Typically, networks get paid for C+3 ratings which includes DVR viewing within three days of the original airing when commercials are watched. Those numbers are rarely released to the press.
What do you think? Do you still like the Nashville TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or be renewed for a fourth season?

I tuned in to “Nashville” only to see Derek Hough’s much-hyped appearance as a guest star. He’s a fine actor (as anyone who saw his movie “Make Your Move” already knows) but I was appalled that his appearances on “Nashville” amounted to four minutes in each of 3 episodes. After making countless millions for ABC by rescuing “Dancing in the Stars” from oblivion too many years ago, a nothing role (one step above an extra) in a low-rated show is the way ABC thanks him? Mr. Hough, by far the most talented performer of today, belongs either on Broadway or… Read more »
I love this show soo much!! I am in love with all the characters… I’ll be so bummed if it gets cancelled. I wish people would just give it a chance.
It really looks like they just need to keep Derek in the show!
Well, looks like Derek Hough’spresence brought in about 1million 18-49 viewers. Let me tell you , us over 49-ers piled in too. Lots of first viewers in the over 49 because of Derek.
Big hint: his acting is better and his looks put a lot of those guys to shame.
Him playing the nice guy fits just fine too.
Clean out some of those lame characters. Keep the ones who have some meat. Add Derek and the show will increase viewership.
Best show on TV . . .FACT!!!!
Well They Mite Get More Viewers If They Would Put Rayna And Deacon Back Together But If They Don’t They Are Gonna Lose Another Viewer With Me. I Know Life Isn’t Perfect But They Need To Be Together. Get Your Story Lines Down Better. And Get Some Real Country Music a People On There Just Not Popcorn Country Singers.
I love this show and everybody on it, some more then others. I also want Rayna and
Deacon to get back together, they are just meant t0 be together. So please don’t
cancel this show.
Worst show on TV…FACT!!!
This is a great show the music and plots are great love all the actors their plots are great and funny at times. They all sing beautiful and it is showing how singers and song writers try to make it.cant wait until deacon and rayna do get back together hope it is soon!!!
Love the show
A show I could not tolerate in year 1. Perhaps partly because I don’t like country music, partly because I didn’t like the plots. If ABC wants to putter along fine, but it will without me
