“Nashville” will come to an end with Season 6 which premieres on January 4, 2018. CMT announced Friday that the upcoming sixth season will be the country music drama’s last. CMT picked up Nashville after the series was canceled by ABC following Season 4.
“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,” executive producer Marshall Herskovitz said via statement. “And 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.”
“After more than 120 episodes of unforgettable television, we believe that creatively it is time for the series to come to its triumphant close at the end of the upcoming season,” Kevin Beggs, chairman of Lionsgate Television Group, said in a statement. “We’re very proud of our incredibly talented cast and crew, the creative brilliance of our showrunners, and the loyal support of our great partners at CMT, Hulu and ABC Studios.
Most importantly, we owe a special debt of thanks to the “Nashville” fans who propelled the series to an incredible run. We owe it to them to make the sixth season the most exciting and memorable of all.”
“Nashville” star Charles Esten (Deacon) took to Twitter to thank the city of “Nashville” for their hospitality while the show was in production.
For almost 6 years, this city has given our show a loving home, a fascinating subject, a beautiful soundtrack, and the most gorgeous canvas to paint our stories on. We are forever grateful to the true star of @NashvilleCMT: Nashville, Tennessee. ✨ https://t.co/UCODN0KNxu
