Many fans were wondering about the future of some characters on “Nashville”, but it looks like the producers aren’t planning any dramatic departures – at least not for now. We recently got a brief preview for the upcoming season, making it clear that several important characters will be back in the picture, including Hayden Panettiere.
Fans seemed particularly worried about her character’s fate, and some expected that the producers will keep this as a major surprise until the season starts airing. It looks like they didn’t want to keep everyone on edge that long though, so they let the cat out of the bag.
According to some fans, this could actually indicate a more worrying trend though. It’s possible that the producers are being so open about what happened to her character, because they are preparing to remove someone else as a plot twist.
Who exactly that could be remains to be seen, and as can be expected, fans have no shortage of theories. It does seem like those who expect such a negative development are in a minority, so hopefully the producers don’t share their ideas, or at least not fully.
The trailer for season 5 implied that some characters are going through serious difficulties as well, such as Deacon Claybourne who is apparently facing a serious challenge in his life situation. It’s pretty clear that some are going to spiral down into a whirlwind of negative emotions, and it’s going to be a heavy and emotional season.
Some fans see the developments that were previewed in the trailer as an allusion to the show itself. “Nashville” went through some difficult times but ended up rising from the dead, and it’s possible that the stories depicted in this season will be a reference to what happened to the actual production.
We can’t say we share those impressions so far, having looked at the trailer, and it’s possible that some fans are finding connections that don’t exist because they’re hoping for the season to be more exciting than it actually will be, but we’ll find out in about a couple of months what the situation is like in any case.
This is shaping up to be a special season in multiple ways so far, and it will start with a long, special episode that will probably set up multiple plot lines for the remainder of the season. We’ve been getting various hints that the producers of “Nashville” will try to really push the show’s main themes forward this time, so it’ll be curious to see how much it has changed exactly.
It’s also very likely that we’re going to get more promos for the upcoming season at some point before January, as it looks like the producers simply don’t want to miss out on any opportunity to get their fans excited right now.
After that, the season itself arrives on January 5, and fans will have multiple options for viewing the new episodes once they’ve started airing. We expect to see some active discussions in the community, as many people have been waiting for this season with a lot of anticipation.
And while it’s obvious that many fans of “Nashville” are excited for the new season and are glad that the producers found a way to keep the show alive, others are apparently a bit more skeptical for what’s coming up, and claim that the show should have just been put to rest after its last season.
