Connie Britton has admitted that Nashville Season 5 renewal is very much up in the air, and appeared to stop herself from suggesting that, one way or another, the series is nearing the end, per THR:
Looking ahead at the future of the show, ABC renewed several dramas for next season but not Nashville. How confident do you feel about season five?
I don’t know. It’s always so hard to know what’s going to be the future. Those things are so completely out of our hands so I always just wait to hear.
Do you have an idea of how much longer you see the show running?
I do feel like we’re kind of getting… Again, I guess I can’t really say. The answer is, I can’t even really speculate. There are so many factors that play into it that I really have nothing to do with so I defer to the powers that be on that.
A lot of networks in recent years — and Friday Night Lights was an example of this — have announced a final season ahead of time to give the writers enough time to wrap things up. Has that been a discussion at all of getting that heads up?
No, to my knowledge, there hasn’t been any discussion like that. And you’re right, we did get to do that on Friday Night Lights. I don’t know how that’s going to go but as far as I know… Again, I don’t feel like I’m ever privy to these conversations but as far as I know, there hasn’t been any conversation like that.
Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the status of Nashville Season 5…
