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….please don’t cancel it…great story line and love the music.
I love this show. It is the only reason I turn TV on, on Wednesday nights. For two weeks now I have gone to the ABC channel and some different show has been on. What have they done with Nashville? What day and time will Nashville be on in the Wheeling, WV area?
Wanda, it’s off for the summer. It will return in the fall. If you’ve missed any episodes, you can watch them here:

Thank Goodness…I love this show! It is the only “must see TV” for me during the week…so thankful they did not cancel it!!
Just read that it has been renewed another season! Yippie!!
I love this show. It is one of the few shows on tv that someone in not getting blown up, bombed, is an alien, walking dead, or resurrected from the dead. The story line is good, the music is enjoyable, and is just plain good entertainment for those of us who do not like all of the above junk that is on tv. Please renew Nashville!!
ABC needs to renew Nashville. No other show on TV like it. Great plots, actors who can truly sing and great quality music. Have downloaded many of the songs. Keep Nashville!
Our family absolutely love this show. It’s one of the very few shows we can watch together as a family. Really love this show!
Please renew, love it!!!
I absolutely love this show! The songs are amazing, and the story lines are always dramatic, twisting, turning, and keeping me entertained . I HOPE THEY DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW!!!
LOVE the show!!!! Do not cancel it!!!
Great acting, great singing and really entertaining story lines. Love this show, don’t cancel! There are so many garbage shows that keep getting renewed. Give this show a chance!
