Nashville ended its 4th season on a cliffhanger which made it evident that a 5th season would be rolled out soon. But the show is said to have been canceled by the ABC network which came out as a shock not only to the fans but also the entertainment industry.
It was confirmed that Nashville wouldn’t be aired on ABC anymore soon after the wrapping up of Nashville Season 4. But that did not mean that Rayna James and Juliette Barnes won’t have their story further told. The production house did not waste any time and started looking for a new home for its title soon after.
The result of this was the slot in CMT where the next season will premiere soon. This makes the life of its fans easy as they will not have to wait for a considerably long time to see what happens next. Initially, the season premiere was supposed to be aired on the 5th of January, but now the same will be aired on the 15th of December. The episode will be titled “ the ”.first hour of the two-ho.”
Actor Charles Esten who plays the role of Deacon Claybourne on the series appeared in a video message to share the happy news with the fans. The video caught on the social media. The premiere will pick up from where it was left off in season 4.
The details involve the revelation of Juliette being in a plane crash. A major detail that the promo video talks about is the fact that more attention will be given to the relationship of Scarlet and Gunnar in the episode. The episode will also bring to light Maddie’s return to her family after her emancipation.
The holiday season will begin on an exciting note for the fans of Nashville knowing that the 5th season would soon go on to tell new stories with a pre-pone. The cancellation of the show seems to have worked just right for the title as well as its fans.
In addition to the early beginning of the season, the president of CMT, Brian Phillips says that the show has reached right here it belonged. The network president added that the show fits in perfectly with the kind of shows they have lined up. Their lists are full of evolving music specials, documentaries, and original series. He seems to see his fans and says that the show will be treasured like no other network.
The 5th season is going to bring in several changes in addition to the comeback of Hayden Panettiere and Connie Britton. The upcoming season is expected to feature more music and diversity at a slower pace. There are also rumors that suggest that the Juliette will also be different in this season. The storytelling would be more emotional as compared to the previous season. However, it won’t be an over-ambitious target of making it seem too sappy and mushy.
The aspects of drama and rapid storytelling will continue to be the identity of the show, but it will not be made into a melodramatic way of telling stories. The fans are inquisitive to dig deeper into what changes will be brought about in the running of the show.
CMT has also released a full trailer for the upcoming season of the series wherein the viewer gets to see the details of the plane crash. The video includes Rayna and Deacon working on an album together and Scarlett and Gunnar still figuring out their relationship along with Juliette being a plane crash. The fact that she survives has already been out to the public.
