Last season, it looked like Nashville might be cancelled but ABC decided to renew the show instead. Will the ratings rise in season two so its future is assured or will the numbers drop so it cancelled this time? We’ll have to wait and see.
The Nashville TV show revolves around a rising country star (Hayden Panettiere) and a legendary superstar (Connie Britton) whose fame is fading. Others in the cast are Charles Esten, Eric Close, Clare Bowen, Sam Palladio, Jonathan Jackson, Chris Carmack, Lennon Stella, and Maisy Stella.
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.
5/10 update: Nashville has been renewed for a third season of 22 episodes by ABC.
Final season averages: 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.34 million total viewers.

For comparisons: The first season of Nashville averaged a 1.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 5.94 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 third season?
I love this show! Nashville is such a unique city and so much fun to visit. I enjoy the music and the storyline of the show!
Love Nashville, look forward to 10:00 We’d night.
Renew!!
I liked last night’s concert at the Ryman. Now, all’y’all who want the show to come back, go to https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/nashville-on-the-record-live/id864995887 and buy last night’s soundtrack. Show ABC you want them to renew NASHVILLE.
We love Nashville. We have not missed a single show. I don’t see any reason why the Nashville show should be cancel. There are so many people that love to watch Nashville. When people that don’t have cable, there just isn’t that many good tv shows to watch. Therefore we are asking you the writers not to cancel Nashville TV Show that we love to watch so. Thanks for your consideration.
Renew – I love this show and can’t wait for Wednesday nights to see this. I have never been a country music fan, but this is my favorite TV show over the last two seasons.
Renew!! Love this show! Hope to see it next season !!
It’s a soap opera. Am having difficulty keeping up with who’s sleeping with who after each episode. Only reason to watch is the wonderful music. I think it should be cancelled before it sinks to total oblivion.
I don’t understand people like you Sue Synder. If you don’t care for the show, that is fine, it is your right. But if that is the case, don’t watch it! Why be selfish and hope it is canceled when so many DO like it, even love it! That is what is destroying this great country, people deciding they want to infringe their ideas on the rest of us. Again, sorry it isn’t your cup of tea, turn the channel, why try to ruin it for the rest of us. I hope you have a blessed day.
T-Bone Burnett was the best thing about the show last season–and the new music supervisor is certainly the WORST thing about the show now–but I do still watch it.
I still like the cast, if not the plot twists or the dialogue or the music. For me, it’s one of those “But other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln” type of deals.
Renew!!!! It follows Marvel what do they expect? Less repeats
RENEW !! My favorite TV series – I look forward to Wed. nights to get lost in the Nashville drama. Love the music….
