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?
Honestly this is one of the most unique shows on TV. Everything else just seems like recycled garbage. It’s either in a Hospital or in a Police Station. And while I do sometimes enjoy a few reality shows most of it is garbage and getting out of hand. This show is a breath of fresh air and there are so many talented people behind it.
My favorite show! Renew!!!
My wife and I really like this show and hope it continues.
Me too
I love this show “Nashville”. Good music with good story lines. Love the characters. I do not like reality shows, except for a few talent shows. I do not like any crime dramas. I can watch the local news for that. Love “Nashville” . Bought the DVD’s & some of the music. Recently flew to Nashville to watch the taping of “Nashville On the Record”. Please Renew for Season 4!!!! This is my favorite show & the only one I make a point of watching live. And the music is better than most music on the radio.
For the love of GOD, CANCEL THIS SHOW! THE WRITTING IS DIRIVITIVE, THE MUSIC IS AWEFUL AND THE ACTING IS HORRID!
I don’t know which show you’re talking about but it’s definitely not NASHVILLE. The writing is fantastic, the music…singers, musicians, lyrics…are addictive complete with charm, fun, authenticity..and the characters are wonderfully developed. LOVE this show and hope it’s renewed for many seasons to come.
Please renew Nashville. It took a while to hook me , but , am now hooked. With all the garbage networks keep pumping out I cannot for the life of me see how anything with an ounce of a plot can be scrapped . Reality crap is NOT reality and it is total mindless crap , yet , networks keep pushing limitless amounts of this drivel onto audiences. The Kardashians ? My 600 lb. life ? Little People ? Kate plus 8 ? Are you kidding me ? Are people really that stupid ? I guess they are …. Just… Read more »
