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?
Absolutely love Nashville, we are faithful followers and will be heartbroken if the show is cancelled! Please renew!!!
Nashville is one of the better shows on. i love the characters and the actors too. Please dont cancel this show
This show just keeps getting better – love the cast – love the music – it is truly FANTASTIC!!!
RENEW!! Love the music and the songwriting and the cameos by musicians.
This is the best series that I have seen in years! So many of us love the music industry and it is so exciting to feel that you are experiencing a small part of it! Most of my friends watch it and we are all hoping that it will not be cancelled! Please, please keep it on the air!
I agree with the above viewer. Please do not cancel the show Nashville.
I watch every week too! Renew, Renew, Renew!!!!!!!
This has by far been the best TV series for many years. My household and most of my friends are tuned in every Wednesday night. One complaint is that the season doesn’t have enough episodes. It barely is back on until there is another break. Also it seems to be pre empted by various other shows. On more than one occasion I have looked forward all week to the show only to find out that it would not be on that week.
Please do not cancel this show. Even the folks overseas are raving about Nashville.
I don’t think ABC has given Nashville a fair shake this season. It’s been preempted so often with little notification to the viewers. I am a big fan but if you can’t continue the show in a timely manner, viewers will go else ware. This is a super show- how about giving it a chance – PLEASE! Thanks for listening.
I love Nashville! I beg you to keep it going on!
LOVE Nashville. The characters and the music make it so different than just a regular TV series. I enjoy the storyline and hearing the good music the artists perform on the show.
HOPE YOU KEEP THE SHOW
No wonder the ratings are lower given the continued choppy first run schedule where chunks are cut out for several weeks 🙁
Love Nashville!! It’s my favorite show, please renew for another season!
Please renew. I watch every week.
Nashville is my all time favorite show!
Please renew! This is a great show and if it were to get cancelled there would be a lot of angry watchers.
