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 wouldn’t miss Nashville. It is my favorite show on TV. The characters are well drawn, and the music is great. PLEASE, renew it for a fourth season!
It is one of our favorite shows with revenge ,Dancing with the stars, Greys, amongst many others hope to keep Nashville and to put Revenge back on great cast left love them all Nolan and Em Amanda and Jack etc lots of story line left use your creativity. Could think of lots of story lines left.
My husband and I love Nashville. It’s our favorite show, and we’re not even country music fans. We just love the characters and their stories (and, yes, we do enjoy the music on the show. They’re all so talented.)
I absolutely love Nashville. I hate when the episode end for the night and I have to wait until next Wednesday to see it again. I am obsessed! It can only get better. I also like the fact that it’s not predictable. Pleaseeeeee do not cancel this show, I would be devasted.
I love Nashville llok forward to it every Wednesday
I can’t wait until Wednesdays, for my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE show, Nashville. The characters are likable, but interesting and intelligent. It is a clean and relevant show, lacking the formula of the day: violence, murder, blood, graphic sex, and people without morals or values! It has great music and a good story line along with the always enjoyed, love tangles. I never miss a show and would be devastated if you did not keep a great show like this on the air! I watch very little other network TV because I can not stand nor am I interested in watching thing… Read more »
I just read online that Nashville has been renewed for 2015 – 2016! Yeah!!!!!
its a great relaxing show, with lots of heart. And the cast can do some serious sininging. Very impressed
We love Nashville it would be a shame to cancel it . Really be disappointed and only one of the good shows at his own TV these days . Country music is the most popular music in America why would you cancel the only show that has country music
I have watched this show from the beginning. I love the twists it has taken. But, at the same time, seeing them on the grand old oprey stage was amazing. I believe the actors are so well cast. It’s a nice change from the s
scandal , blacklist ,American crime genre. I am invested in this cast. What can we do to keep it from not being brought back?

We love Nashville & look forward to it every week. As musicians, we can live out our music dream of becoming Nashville artists through watching this series. The music is refreshing & amazing! Country music needs this show to continue airing and for Nashville to remain “music city” for all inspiring musicians & songwriters. PLEASE don’t take our dream away! Give us at least one more season.
I must admit that I only just started watching Nashville recently. I started with the first episode of the first season on HULU about a month ago. I am absolutely hooked on the show now and was disappointed when I caught up to the current season because now I have to wait longer to see the next episode. I love the characters in this show and the storyline and I really love the music. I will be so very disappointed if this show isn’t renewed for another season. PLEASE give them the green light for a 4th season!!!
Please dont cancel Nashville! The show has gotten better and better the music is awesome renew it for next year please
Absolutely love this show. Our favorite by far. Please renew
Please Do Not Cancel Nashville!!!! I love love love the show. I only watch 4 shows a week and that’s my favorite!
Nashville is my Wednesday night staple , my friends and I love the show, it would be a grave injustice to cancel the show
Please do not cancel Nashville. It is my favorite show and I have watched it from day 1. I love the music and story lines. Nashville is the only show I continually watch every week.
