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?
This is my favorite show! I love the music and the story lines. Nothing like it on TV (which is usually all awful – I mean really, Two Broke Girls? who watches that?) so please don’t cancel it!
Please don’t cancel! This is me and all my friends fav show!!! I look forward to it every Wednesday!!! Great music too! I have it all downloaded on my phone!
Keep Nashville!!!! I love this show!
Please KEEP Nashville. The music is great and the characters are interesting. I wish it was in an earlier time slot. 10 Pm Eastern makes it hard to rise at 05:00. So I watch on Hulu the next day. All of their voices are worth hearinga and the harmonies are pleasing to the ear. We listen to their songs on MOG.
Please don’t cancel Nashville !,,,, it’s a great show and one of the few I can watch.
Nashville should most definately be Renewed
great music and nice to have something to look fowwrd to weekly
I love love love nashville!! I truely hope it is renewed for a third season I. Watched 38 episodes in 3 days and I would have watched more but that’s all there was . Fingers crossed for a season 3 renewal
I think Nashville shouldn’t be cancelled. I think Nashville has exiting and good storylines. I think the two lead females characters play good together. They have a like hate relationship but, they can sing good together when they have too. I like it when real life country singers guest star. I hope you can save this show from being cancelled.
Wow. This is one of the best shows on regular TV, in my opinion, and I never miss it. Music is great, characters are fun and the actors talented. I’m likely a strange demographic–graduate degree, over 55, never listened to Country Music before and I just downloaded both albums from iTunes. I’m planning a trip to Memphis/Nashville now for all the music! K eep Nashville on TV. Networks: be wary of overlooking the important demographic of baby boomers who have money to spend and are much more loyal than those millenials. You keep pushing me to cable in order to… Read more »
I love the show and would be really sad to see it cancelled , we need more shows like this and LESS reality TV .
KEEP IT! It’s the only decent thing on television
I hope it isn’t cancelled. It’s one of my favorite shows on television. Enough already with cops and robbers. The music is great, and the story lines are getting more interesting.
