With the series finale forgoing a ‘happy ending’ with a view to continuation, Lionsgate Television Chairman Kevin Beggs claims Nashville has “four to five” possible outlets vying to save the drama for Season 5, per EW:
“The fans and everyone else is clamoring for more seasons… we kind of go one season at a time with our thinking, so our near term plan is getting another season,” he said, adding that Lionsgate has about four to five potential outlets looking to pick up Nashville and that “most are in-bound inquiries coming to us” to continue the show.
While Season 5 is the immediate priority, Beggs plays to the fans, stating that Nashville could last “forever” if it escapes the reaper:
“We have long term deals with the cast. These kinds of shows can go on forever and ever. That’s our hope and expectation, but we gotta do it one season at a time. We hope to land season 5 and keep talking about the show to come.”
Stay tuned as we monitor Nashville’s attempt to out-dance the cancellation reaper…

Oh, come on, we want to see another season of these guys. I love Connie Britton, would love to hear more music from the X’s, the sisters, Will. Does the melodrama really matter if you give us good music. But PLEASE no more wrinkled up concerned sorry faces on Deacon. Really!! So tired of such a handsome face looking so stupid!

The SHOW MUST GO ON!!! We all want to see what happens in season 5 and many more after that!! The show is just to awesome to get axed, if reality shows can go on for years so can NASHVILLE!! The cast all works great together and makes you want to keep watching. We got to see Rayna & Deacon finally get married, now it s Scarlett s & Gunnar s turn to walk down the aisle!! #BRING BACK NASHVILLE SOON

Come on Nashville!
Why any network would cancel a series with a solid fan base is beyond me. Seems to me any show holding an audience for 4 years is better than taking a chance on some of these weird pilots they throw on!
