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 keep Nashville! The show is full of talent and great storylines. So tired of seeing the same types of shows on television. This one is a favorite!
Yes!! I love Nashville! It has to be renewed!!!!
Nashville is the only show I look forward to each week. At the beginning I knew almost knew none of the characters…..no more. Great music, good stories, realistic. Please do not cancel this show!
Nashville is loads of fun with great music & an all star cast. Please RENEW IT!
This show should absolutely be renewed. The music and stars are extrodinarey. I look forward every week to watching it.
Absolutely- you must renew- I can’t imagine TV w/out Nashville-brilliant actors, beautiful music!
I am an African-American woman, born and raised in NYC. I am a 34 y.o. middle school eacher in an urban school district. I have always had an eclectic taste in music, but have never been able to listen to country music without being teased by my friends and family. Therefore, I’ve always had to sneak to listen to it. By watching Nashville, I am able to get my country music “fiix.” The characters are dynamic, the plot is always interesting, and the music is ridiculously good. I would be absolutely devestated if they took this show off of the… Read more »
I meant to write “fix,” not “fiix.” Please excuse the typo… This iPhone screen is ridiculously small! 🙂
Nashville is THE ONLY tv show our household watches. Other than this, sports and the news, our TV is never on because of the lack of shows out there – Nashville has to continue!!
I will say it again please please Renew Nashville,it is a very good show, it is the one show i look forward to every week. make more episodes and dont take too long breaks,we miss it when it is not on. love the show and the cast.
Please renew this show! I love love love it. The music is fantastic and I want to keep watching these characters as they evolve.
Please DON’t cancel!
I wouldn’t be surprised if it lost viewers due to the many “brakes”. I think a show with multiple story lines can’t afford to do that.
Please please please renew Nashville, the storylines, the music, the actors, Nashville has it all. Please give us a season 3, please!
I love the Nashville tv show, I’ve never missed an episode and I dvr them so I can watch them during the week. There just has to be a season 3 please!
Please renew this show! There just isn’t a whole lot worth watching on TV any more, and this is the exception. I will say i wish they would slow things down a bit because it does move fast, but all in all, this show actually makes me sit down and watch TV. If it goes away, then I guess no more ABC for me because most everything else sucks!
please renew nashvile,i enjoy this show so much. come on people watch. there is not too many good night time shows on. lets keep this one on and revenge too.
absolutely love this show – fervently hoping it’s renewed!
