Country Drama ‘Nashville’ Is Coming to a Close- Again

CMT announced that the sixth season of the hit drama will be its last.

The series, starring Hayden Panettiere, follows the lives of country singers trying to make it big in the country music capital of Nashville.

Series executive producer  Marshall Herskovitz said, “All of us on Nashville are so incredibly grateful to the show’s fans, who convinced CMT to give us a chance to keep telling the story of these remarkable characters.”

For those of you that do not know, the show used to air on ABC before the network dropped it back in 2016. So many fans petitioned for the continuation of the drama that it managed to be picked up by CMT only a month after its initial cancellation.

This sounds like the end of the series for real this time around, Herskovitz stating, “we want to return the favor with a final season that celebrates all the joys and passions, twists and turns — and amazing music! — that made Nashville such an exciting journey for the last six years.”

The final season premieres on January 4, 2018.
