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 Nashville, I watch on Demand . I love the talent. Especially The Ex’s . Is there a chance another network would pick them up .
this is the only show i wait to watch i don’t care about any other shows please leave it on!!!
Renew Nashville abc taking all good shows off
This is the best show on Television by far! The acting is outstanding and the talent is phenomenal! I’m so tired of reality shows (Bachelor, Bachelorette, survival), and police shows galore. This is the one show i never miss. Please, don’t cancel this series. Please!!! This show pulls you in and you get so involved with these characters and story lines that you forget about the real world for a while. Believe me, the real world and public are much, much worse than this show portrays. Stop thinking about numbers for once and listen to viewers, DON’T CANCEL!!!
Don’t cancel this show. Everyone I know watches and loves this show.
Best show on TV!
Why is it every time I like a show it gets canceled. I don’t think they ever listen to the viewers
that is so true all they want is these dumb reality shows
Don’t cancel Nashville. My favorite show, not on PBS! great music, interesting characters, a little bit soap opera, a little bit country!
Please leave Nashville on Our family loves the program and the music.
Please renew – Storylines are good Love the show
Renew love this program , just about the only thing on tv to watch these days! Please renew
Nashville is best show ever. Wish it was on Netflix.
Nashville is the best show ever!! I have become an avid country music fan and have all the CDs from the show. Can’t wait for the next one. The storylines are great especially the Juliette and Avery storyline. I just want them to be happy. I just hope it keeps going for as long as ER and other long running American programmes. Black Roses was also one of my favourite songs.
we as a family love Nashville, please don’t cancel the show, there are not very many shows now a days that a family can watch.
I am not usually a television viewer, however,since have disovered “Nashville” I have become so addicted that I watch re-runs overand over on HULU. Best writing, casting, and acting I have ever seen on tv.
