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?
Please RENEW Nashville!!!!
We love this show and it has so much quality music. I never ever considered myself any kind of country fan, but this show has shown me that there is good music there! Love the characters and storyline. Please continue
I love Nashville. I also think the music as well as the singers are very good. Better story line than some of the other shows being renewed on ABC. ABC stick to this series. You sould cancel Scandal.
The only show we really look forward to every week! Hate it when it’s not on.
Renew, please!!!!!
Please renew Nashville. Its a great cast and a fun show to indulge in that is not horrible reality tv. Thanks.
This is my favorite show. Love the music and the stories. Renew please. My granddaughter agrees.
My daughter and I have watched Nashville together apart from the first episode – she at college and me at home and texting furiously during the tense scenes and plot twists. We often watch episodes multiple times. We love the music and what great exposure for the songwriters. Think of the songs that might never have been heard. I sure hope it isn’t get canceled. It’s one of the few shows I look forward to watching each week! of only 3 or maybe 4 shows I follow weekly.
RENEW!!! IT’S MY HUSBAND AND MY FAVORITE SHOW ON TV!!! I think the reason the viewers were down last show is because it’s been off the air too much and people are confused when it will be on or not. Instead of canceling you should make more shows so it’s on more consistently!!!
Renew , Renew , Renew
or abc becomes boring again
This is the best show on TV. Too bad that some people do not even give it a chance because of the perception that it is only country music. It is so much more. I love the music myself but I also love the cast. They blend so well together. I hope it is renewed but the numbers don’t look good.
I started watching this show this season and have enjoyed it so much I purchases the first season to watch. Please keep it on for a third and see what the ratings are after that….
I love this show. Please please please please renew it! Never miss it–it is always DVRd if I can’t be home to watch it!!! One of the best shows on t.v.!

Let me first say that I am in no way the target demo for show. The age is right in their but I am a man and of color. This is hands down one of the better shows on TV and I have a better appreciation of country music overall.
I really enjoy the music and I think may give some of the new songwriters a better
chance to be heard ie the NASHVILLE SHOW last week.
I go into ITunes and download songs from the show often.
The storylines are entertaining also – please give the show more of a chance.
It’s also especially nice when name entertainers are willing to be a part of the show.
This is a great drama series with so much true talent. Please keep it on the air. This is the only show on tv with great stories and musical entertainment. Very unique! Also bringing country music stars into the show is just added entertainment. Genius!
