Nashville has taken a positive step beyond Season 4, with news that work has started on a potential fifth season.
The ABC renewal gods have yet to formally grant the musical drama a fifth season, but the writers room has been set up with a view to getting the jump on next season’s storylines, per Deadline:
While ABC is yet to decide Nashville’s future beyond the current fourth season, work has started on the potential Season 5. Newly appointed showrunners, Thirtysomething creators Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz, are assembling a small writers room to work on stories for next season.
I hear the move by producing studios Lionsgate TV and ABC Studios is designed to both help the duo — who are new to the country music drama — hone a strong pitch for Season 5 and get a head start should Nashville get a renewal. While on the bubble, Nashville had been looking good for a fifth season, which could be a shorter, final installment.
Will there be a twist in the tune, or is Nashville Season 5 safe from the reaper? Stay tuned for the latest…

Say it isn’t so! I can’t believe that they would cancel one of the best shows on tv. Has ABC totally lost their minds. Nashville is a series that when you watch it you keep coming back for more. It deals with the drama and everything involve with country music. Nashville has a lot of fans out there. So won’t you please re-consider and renew our show for the 5th season.
