Reports also have it that there shall be plenty of singing in Season 5 of “Nashville” and this was confirmed by showrunners Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz, adding that they intend to bring the focus back to the music industry.
This only means that there will be more music in Season 5 of “Nashville” compared to its past four seasons when it was still airing on ABC.
From previously being aired on ABC during its fourth season, “Nashville” Season 5 will be aired on CMT after the network rescued it from cancellation.
CMT will not be altering much with “Nashville” as Season 5 shall have a full order of 22 episodes too, the same number of episodes per season that the TV series had during its four seasons on ABC.
If any, the only thing that changed, as far as “Nashville” is concerned, is its premiere date. The show normally premieres on ABC during the fall and ends up during spring of the following year.
However for Season 5, “Nashville” will be making a midseason premiere at the start of next year and likely finish before or around summer, assuming it will have several weeks of break. But if will not have any break, it could also end Season 5 around late spring too.
