Nashville is preparing for a potential Season 5 renewal with the hire of new showrunners, TVLine reports:
TV vets Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick (My So-Called Life, thirtysomething) have inked a deal to take over as Nashville‘s new showrunners in the very likely event ABC renews the bubble drama for Season 5, TVLine has learned exclusively. The duo would replace current showunner Dee Johnson, who is expected to depart at the conclusion of Nashville‘s current fourth season.
While the pre-emptive capture of new showrunners boosts the musical drama’s Season 5 renewal chances, ABC have yet to issue the all-important formal pickup.
As always, the proof will be in the renewal pudding.
Stay tuned for the official Nashville Season 5 renewal announcement, or otherwise…

Hallelujah! As I watched it last night, I was thinking how screwed up it would be to cancel such a great show. Maybe for once, ABC is paying attention to its viewers.
