Calling all Nashville fans… we need to talk.
On Friday the world became a little darker. US network ABC announced that they would not be renewing our guilty-pleasure country music drama for a fifth season.
No more Rayna. No more Deacon. No more Juliette Barnes.
Our hearts broke. We cursed the TV gods. And we shed a photogenic, Rayna-like tear.
Just a warning, if you aren’t up to date on Nashville, there are spoilers ahead.
Will Maddie ever reconcile with her mother? Will Cash be exposed to be the psycho we know she is? Will Juliette be okay? Will anyone in the entire town ever be happy? EVER?
Rosie and Laura shed a few tears for Nashville on the latest episode of The Binge:
Because it is very likely that the show will end on a massive cliffhanger (hello there, Season One, and Season Two, and, oh, Season Three.)
Considering we have two episodes left before the show ends FOREVER, our guess is, no.
So, WHY did it get cancelled?
While all things were looking as rosy as they could be in Nashville land, it seems that a lot of things were going on behind the scenes of the show.
One of the network heads at ABC who commissioned the show, and was its biggest ally, left. And it seems not many other heads at ABC were that keen to have it. (What is WRONG with you people?)

Where has Connie said it's not coming back? I feel like I've watched and read every interview and haven't heard that. In fact, she said she 'doesn't know' if it's being shopped by another network. LionsgateTV have tweeted that they are trying to get another network to take it over. And Chip Esten (Deacon-swoon) retweeted that tweet, so the cast are aware too. Ed Amatrudo (Glenn) is very active in the cause for a pick up by someone else. Cross everything to #BringBackNashville
It's way too good to end!!
