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 don’t cancel this show!! My husband and I are faithful watchers. We love the great talent in the actors and music! Would be a shame.
KEEP NASHVILLE ON……PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! It’s such an awesome show…best ever !!!!!!
I absolutely think Nashville should be renewed. It gets better and better every week, as the stories get more complicated. We get so involved from one week to the next, as the stories progress. We want to see where each show takes us, and we’re always surprised. It’s a wonderful show with an amazing cast and awesome music. It’s the only show I make a point to watch every week religiously. Please renew the show. It deserves more time and more seasons
I sincerely hope that ABS doesn’t cancel Nashville. It is a wonderful show. I especially like that Connie Britton is an attractive, strong woman who is comfortable with her age. There aren’t many shows like that on TV. The music is also great. It would be a real disservice to the fans to cancel this show.
I LOVE this show. Please keep it going another season. It’s the only one that revolves around country music, my favorite, and the actors and songs are great. There’s always something brewing behind the stage and I look forward to all the surprises each week. ABC–do the right thing and renew it for another year.
Please do NOT cancel the show……..We love it…

I work at ABC and any reports that this show might be cancelled are ludicrous. It’s not going anywhere.
